You just made them install one more app. And you lost friends because they didn't install an app. What a dumb way to spite Facebook.

If a "friend" won't install an app (a 2 minute commitment?) to remain in contact, then I'm honestly fine without them contacting me. To each his own.

Installing an app is more than a 2 minute commitment. You also have to be OK with that app running on your device.

It's not even that.

An average person will have pages of apps installed, but that would actually use only what's on the first page. So they have a choice of bumping something off their precious FP to fit my special app or just keep it where it lands after installation, on the back pages. And if it ends up there, out of rotation, it won't see much voluntary use.
