In this thread, we discuss FaceBook applications.
Do you love em or hate em?
When the first few applications were introduced, I thought they were the greatest things. I added The Compass and Trips and a few others. Now, when you visit different profiles, it seems like it's nothing but clutter -- which is unfortunate, because one of the things that kept me on FaceBook in the first place was the lack of clutter we usually find on MySpace.
What do you guys think? What are some of your favorite applications? Which applications should we avoid altogether?
I recently added Favorite Peeps to my profile. Now all the world knows that Senusret I is the father of my bastard children.

I think whoever created the "Glitter" application needs to be shot.
Like you said, it just clutters it up, and makes it more like Myspace...which I think will later be proven to induce seizures.
The ones I do like are the Drink (it really doesn't do much), Movies, and Graffiti. I think the Trackzor is a little stalkerish.

I am so proud of my bastard children. 
I like some of the applications..... I use Top Friends (I guess that's what it's called) so now I have my top 8 friends and the world knows, but it's only because I like stalking them more than the others and need easier access.
I also have Favorite Peeps and Extended Info..... I wanted a place to put "personal ad" type stuff and to brag about my APO and APhiA activities.
I think it's only cluttered if people use a lot of apps.... I only picked ones that look streamlined. I used to have the Compass, but then I realized it didn't do anything.

The ones I have added are favorite shows, books, and movies. 
It seems like there are 69845984 applications because every time I long on, one of my 35 friends has a new application or two.

I *heart* the Graffiti app... and that's it.... everything else is pushing me towards closing my account

Agreed. I've added a bunch because of invites but it's getting ridiculous. I have the causes app, free gifts (always fun), some music and film review one that I'm dumping, emoticons, fortune cookie and video. I'm dumping pretty much all of it. I'll keep causes and free gifts, and possibly video.
I told my boyfriend facebook was becoming myspace and he didn't agree. Okay then-facebook used to be simple and neat and now it's getting out of hand. I'm going to start hurting people who send me more invites, it's really annoying.

One of the things I dislike about MySpace is the number of add-ons, etc., that seem to clutter everyone's pages. So, I'm not wild about people who are going nuts with the Facebook applications.
That said, I've added a couple (Election, favorite drinks), and they're not bad. Some are kind of silly, like the top friends one, but at least they're not too over-the-top visually.

I like the "Where I've been" and "Cities I've visited" ones. And the "My Flags" one is all right. Most of the others I find pretty useless.

On my Profile, all you see is the Greek Community (gotta represent!  ) and the original Gifts app. (where you have to buy to give)
But I have some more applications hidden like the Bumper Sticker (I like quotes & pictures), Free Gifts, and Graffiti (which used to be on my profile but I hid it cuz it took up a lot of room. hahaha)

One of my friends just got Scrabble a couple months ago and we've been playing Scrabble when we hang out at her place. Well, a few days ago, we both added the Scrabulous application. We were playing it all day at work today. Heehee!!
