The Good & the Bad of Pizza Hut’s Facebook Ordering Service
Pizza Hut’s recently launched Facebook application, which allows users to order a pizza directly from the social networking site, seems like a great idea. However, blogger Harrison Hoffam of The Web Services Report, feels that the application falls short.
Harrison is a fan of Pizza Hut’s online ordering, but was disappointed to see that the Facebook application mirrors the exact function on Pizza Hut’s Web site, offering nothing new to users. “The worst part of Pizza Hut’s app, however, is not the fact that it offers nothing new in terms of functionality, it’s that it spams all of your friends with advertisements,” said Harrison.
More users were complaining of the identical spam issue, which prompted Pizza Hut to remove the notification of fans logging into the application, and gave them the ability to opt out of receiving additional notifications from the application.
