I have created applications for Orkut, Facebook, Hi5, MySpace and Ning so far. Will be doing a friendster and bebo next week.
Facebook and Hi5 are the most application creator friendly platforms. Amongst the open-social platforms, Hi5 is most professional. They have a fixed set of guidelines. If your app follows these guidelines, it is approved within a day sometimes. If not, you are promptly notified. MySpace is highly buggy (still) - if you work around these bugs, they are quite professional in responding and approving applications. Orkut is the most frustrating amongst these platforms. They take almost a week to inform you the reason why your app cannot be approved. For some of my apps, there has been no response even after 3 weeks of submitting the application. Sometimes the response borders on the ludicrous trying to advise on what content is good for your applcication. I hope the orkut team is reading this and will ensure a professional process of application approval. A bad application will be rejected by the users, so Orkut does not have to work extra hard trying to prejudge whether the app is good or bad. I guess a simple set of guidelines and ensuring that there is no objectionable content is what orkut should focus on. my 2 cents.
