The release of Facebook's application API was the first big break, allowing any non-Facebook generated content to be shown on profiles. The new profile is actually a way of removing some of the 'trash' that's cropped up in the form of applications from the Facebook profile. I know there are now starting to be stricter rules about applications as well, but no changes have been made, that I know, that would help to prevent bogus profiles to be made.

Is there anything in the new facebook format that addresses this?
