How Facebook is ruining sharing

I found this to be interesting. I never add the Open Social apps (only apps where I control what I share).

So, publishers and Facebook in particular really, really want you to click those little Add to Facebook buttons so that everything you read, watch, listen to or buy will get shared to friends who also authorize the app and share to friends who also authorise the app and so on and so on into eternity and hopefully riches. It's all just part of the plan.

The problem, really, is that the plan is turning out to be really annoying in practice. Spotify song sharing is like the new FarmVille, and its auto-sharing turned out to be an unpleasant surprise for folks who didn't quite understand just how frictionless Open Graph sharing would be.
