Another negative for Facebook- I didn't realize I had set my account to not notify me when I got an invitation. My invitations were all getting lost in my huge long list of other requests (join my mafia! Visit my farm! Do this quiz! Friend this bot!) and I was completely missing out on things people had assumed I knew about. I also get a lot of invitations from things that are irrelevant to me. (Hey everyone who was ever involved in Hillel- come to this Meet and Greet tomorrow at Brandeis!)
I guess that's kind of part of the noise to signal ratio you mentioned, but my real point was that one can have their account set to not receive notifications of invites and not realize it. This doesn't happen via email.
