Using iOS push notifications to advertise your other apps is bad.

This is the second time this has happened in 2 days, and I’m sick of it. An unknown person (who I’ve blanked out) has invited me to play a game I’m not even interested in with him, through another app. ngmoco:), if you’re reading this: this is unacceptable. At least I don’t have instantaneous notifications (I’m using an iPod touch), so it’s not that bad, but I’m sick of getting these “invites” which are essentially pop-up ads for your other apps.

I’ve already contacted ngmoco:) through Twitter two days ago, and they’ve yet to respond, so I reported it as an issue on their Get Satisfaction site. If you’re sick of it too, or just play any of ngmoco:)’s games and don’t like this idea help me by voting in favour of removing this “functionality” from GodFinger and others. You can sign up to Get Satisfaction, or just sign in with your Windows Live ID, Facebook account or Open ID account.
