Facebook CTO Bret Taylor revealed that the social networking site has cut spam on its platform by 95%, while cutting platform policies and rules by half.
Taylor discussed the roadmap for the Facebook Platform at the Inside Social Apps conference in San Francisco. On stage with Inside Network's Justin Smith, the Facebook CTO started by discussing the current health of the social gaming market.
"Gaming and apps have been growing like gangbusters," the former Friendfeed co-founder said. As one might expect, he was very bullish on the state of social gaming and the Facebook Platform especially. Part of the reason it hasn't degraded, he argued, was Facebook's efforts to decrease application spam.
