So for example i added the friendfeed application and i knew u might like it but it showed me the standard page where i was shown all my friends and asked to invite 20 or something like that. It dint even try to 'coax' me into inviting you if you know what i mean. if the app requests do not need to be of a certain number and if the request in some way makes you find those 1 or 2 friends who are likely to like the particular application as opposed to a 100 who may hate it - then it becomes relevant right?

The wall.. what do I do with all these walls.. ok.. sorry for the rant.. but yeah that was just to add to Harshil's point above about users having the need to manage app requests better.. However.. I'm not clear about how FB is making app requests contextual.. or even as relevant as friend requests.. how does this step from FB lead to that...? The walls!
