Facebook Apps gone mad
Even when all applications were minimized, this crazy page went on for miles and miles. Surely people can’t actually use any of these applications?
I am a big fan of Facebook, and of the open API (I have 5 applications installed myself) – some of the apps are great, but really, with the wondrous “How fat are you?”, “Which swear word are you?” and “Poo fight” installations, are we really using the internet to its full potential?

Absolutely spot on; Facebook applications have become the latestest in what I refer to as “fowarding disease”. Once people with this disease would constantly foward a stream of nonsense emails to you, now they constantly add and invite you to add a new facebook application that tells you what colour kitten you are.
Facebook is becoming MySpace.

The new Myspace I HOPE not! But it is sad, as I have so much respect for what Facebook is and the technologies it employs.
Let’s just hope it becomes easier to block the crap out.

While this topic can be very challenging for most people, my belief is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do value that you’ve added pertinent and intelligent commentary here though. Very much thanks to you!
