An app spree used to mean 3-5 well placed apps within a short time span. snowkitty is only the most recent, I seem to remember someone having 15 new accounts in a short period of time. I don't believe it is wise to encourage this behavior - it can lead to AA/closures and some of these folks may not be using credit for fun like some of us but instead actually need it as part of raising a family or even providing essentials for themselves (times are tough). So yeah, regardless of the fact that OP has a cute&cuddly name like snowkitty, I'm going to be real because people (unfortunately) use these forums for real financial advice.
Your point is well taken that app sprees need to be embarked upon judiciously instead of recklessly. But, I don't believe that anyone on this thread has been encouraging reckless behavior. The OP is new and is just learning these things and will most likely take this into account when apping in the future. I think that most of us have done something with our credit at one point or another that we thought better of after the fact. I know that I have. The point is that what's done is done, and the best course of action for the OP is to sit tight and see how things play out. Overall, that's the gist of the advice that was given.
