so i found this article on wired.com about the best facebook apps (for supsersocial geeks) and while the ones mentioned were all pretty cool, i can’t help but feel as though the ones they picked aren’t the best out there. sure the calendar 30 day program is kinda cool, allowing you to manage all your facebook dates on your profile, but, how confusing can facebook dates become? and the honesty box program made the cut? really? a place for people to leave an anonoymous message for you, the sometimes brutal program is intriguing but out of the hundreds of programs there are, how did this one make the cut? i personally like the program “bumper sticker” which may not be too cool (probably why it’s not on the list) but i think it’s just very very amusing. friends sending eachother little pics or quotes, most pretty hilarious, and having the option to post on their profile or keep them hidden in the program’s file. i guess though that i was hoping that somehow there were super cool facebook apps i was unaware of the wired would open my eyes to. sadly, apps really do appear to be pointless.
I think the facebook apps. are so funny. I had no idea there were that many! I agree that they are pretty pointless. The most useful thing on facebook, for me, is when they tell you whose birthday it is. It’s nice to give a little shout out to your friends.
I think you’re right. I really don’t have a ton of facebook apps on my profile but I definitely think there are better ones out there than the ones on that list. I was kind of shocked when I read about the Honesty box… is that seriously an application?
