If you've been spammed by a Facebook app then chances are you've experienced one of the Slide applications.  Yes, these are the people behind Funwalls and SuperPokes.  Turns out that they aren't seeing the ROI they'd like from these time wasters. 

Slide Says It's Done Releasing New Facebook Apps - Silicon Alley Insider

Slide, the company that makes Facebook's most popular apps, says it's done making new ones for the social network. Keith Rabois, VP of strategy and business development, told us this week that the company wants to concentrate on making the existing apps like FunWall and Top Friends better -- and ultimately figure out how to generate real money from them.

I admire the desire to improve existing apps, but I also think this should serve as a bit of a wake-up call that you need more than a catchy gimmick to profit off of social networks.
