What&#8217;s more, they&#8217;re mushrooming by the day, as companies and individual developers alike catch on to the potential of having their content splashed over (potentially) millions of Facebook profiles.</p>
<p>But which are the ones worth adding? I&#8217;ve put together a big list of 101 of the best, most useful, most interesting and silliest Facebook apps below. And no, I haven&#8217;t just worked my way down the &#8216;Most Popular&#8217; list on the site &#8211; I&#8217;ve investigated every one to see what it does, and whether it&#8217;s worth putting on your profile.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>1. Top Friends. Flatter your best mates by putting them in your Top Friends box (and insult all your others by leaving them out). <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2425101550&#38;b">Get it</a></p>
<p>2. Tetris Tournament. Play Tetris and reduce your friends&#8217; high scores to dust. Utterly, utterly addictive. <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2376198867&#38;b">Get it</a></p>
<p>3. Training. App that tracks your fitness regime, and compares it to your friends so you can offer mutual support (or laugh at the fat lazy donut-munchers in your group, obv). <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2364214970&#38;b">Get it</a></p>
<p>4. iLike. Barnstorming Music 2.0 application that lets you share music and show off your tune knowledge in the competition. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2413267546&#38;b">Get it</a></p>

<description><![CDATA[Everyone wants to get the inside scoop of the future. What exactly is the future of social media app]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="post-body entry-content">
<p class="MsoNormal">Everyone wants to get the inside scoop of the future. What exactly is the future of social media applications? We started seeing simple applications where you can do quizzes, rate friends, have top friends, poke people, super poke people but now we are starting to see more complex applications, which constitutes of sports games with complicated game engines, flash based casual games, or a mix of both.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The most important thing you need to know is that, this is a young industry that is going to grow very rapidly. More and more developers are making applications, social networks are opening up their platforms to outside developers, and everyone is talking about social media and Web 2.0.<span> </span>Competition will increase in time. Therefore, you need to continuously stay at the forefront and stay updated with how the platforms are evolving, if it is you want to compete in this industry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing people do forget is that, users are going to get savvy as well and their expectations are going to grow faster in time. That means they will get irritated with errors, slow applications, applications that are spammy and applications that do not protect user privacy. They will expect much more than what is available now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So what are we doing at ibtgames.com? We follow three guiding principles</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span><span>1)<span> </span></span></span>Focus on what users want</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>2)<span> </span></span></span>Focus on making engaging applications</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span><span>3)<span> </span></span></span>Redefine the user experience</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now what does all this mean?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Focus on things that users want, not what you think they want. It is important to make sure they are getting a value or satisfaction. Otherwise, they will probably not stay long thus not make your application engaging. So this brings to the next point, making engaging applications. You do not want to make an application where they will come and leave in 2 mins or just use it once or twice. Engage them with more options and features that will interest the users. Provide some depth by going to the next level. Think of it as providing long-term value rather than short term so this means you constantly need to redefine the user experience on your application. This involves continuously improving your application, trying to make it as error free as possible, making it faster and using current technology to improve their experience while they are on your application. Also it involves listening to the users and providing new features in a timely manner that will satisfy the user.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Check out our sports application on facebook.</p>

<span style="font-size:xx-small;font-family:arial;">Snazzy Moms presents : Money © &#8211; <a href="junmin88.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html">junmin88.blogspot.com</a> </span></p>
<p>With the addition of a new member in the family come additional expenses as well. No one ever warned me about how many diapers a baby poos in every day and how much baby food costs when you’re not nursing! Even with two full time working parents, it’s not easy to cover all the new and very often unexpected expenses. I mean, teething medicine? Can’t they just skip the whole growing teeth stage and go straight to dentures? It would save a lot on braces. And how can I resist a good steak or new earrings when they feel like my best friends?  </p>
<p>So, in an attempt to salvage the situation and even manage to put aside money each month, my husband and I came up with a plan. We carefully analyzed how much money we make and put together a realistic budget that we swore to follow like the Bible. I also promised never to use my credit card. This sneaky device lets you purchase things that come back to haunt you at the end of the month. Pure evil, I say, pure evil.  </p>
<p>Well, it’s been a few months since we started with this plan. It seemed fool proof and I felt confident that I could easily stick with it. I religiously wrote down everything that we spent and managed the money meticulously. But then I started to smell the good life and was tempted to buy “just” one thing or “just” one more thing. Of course I was writing these things down as miscellaneous, so they always “fit” into the budget. But at the end of the month, these things did not fit into the budget and things were looking bad again.</p>
<p>So, in a second attempt to salvage the situation, my husband and I came up with a second plan. Or should I say, we read about a great idea in the Readers Digest. </p>
<p>Stay tuned for my next post….</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal">Lately, I’ve really been enjoying working on my Facebook. I know that Facebook was intended for students in college to keep in touch, but who cares, right? Today everyone is using Facebook, students, parents and CEO’s alike, which brings me to my post for today. The CEO of the company I work for (Tripcart.com) decided to open a profile on Facebook too. At first it seemed a bit strange, but then it hit me. CEO’s are actually human too.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I love my Facebook because it lets me update all my friends without having to send individual e-mails. I can post pictures without sending them a link, and I can chat with them without using messenger. So all in all, Facebook is great. But what about Facebook is attracting entrepreneurs, like my boss, to open business profiles? I mean, there’s always Linked-in for that, no? But as I browsed through my boss’s profile, I began to see things I never noticed before. He isn’t just a CEO or a boss; he is actually a father, a friend and a husband as well. Looking at his profile made me realize that opening a business profile on Facebook was actually a very smart thing for him to do. He was humanizing himself towards the outside. It made him seem more tangible and it definitely made him look up-to-date. Using Facebook made him seem young, modern and maybe even a little hip.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Bottom line, what was he thinking? This can only be good for business.</p>

<p>Facebook has been forced to shut down two of it&#8217;s top applications this week after &#8216;privacy violations&#8217;.</p>
<p>Top Friends (which I&#8217;m sure most of you have heard of) was created by Slide and lets you to rank your friends in order of how much you like them. It was Facebook&#8217;s forth biggest application, but had to be removed after a hacker published users&#8217; private details.</p>
<p>Hi Social was around the 25th most popular application on Facebook, with over 280,000 daily active users. The app lets uses find out what their friends really think of them, but has also had to be removed.</p>
<p>Facebook has said they are looking into each case and the Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office are meeting with Facebook this week to discuss the privacy issues on the site.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Non è qualcosa che istallano all’entrata dei condomini di lusso.<br />
Per <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Portierato Elettronico</span> qui s’intende l’andare a frugare tra i <span style="color:#ff00ff;">cavoli altrui</span> nei vari social network, blog e qualunque struttura web da cui si possano ottenere informazioni che non ci riguardano.</p>
<p>In fondo, cosa sono queste strutture se non un grande <span style="color:#ff00ff;">condominio</span> virtuale in cui possiamo stare alla finestra a commentare la gente che passa? Si scoprono <span style="color:#ff00ff;">cose turche</span>, come ad esempio che il nuovo ragazzo di tua cugina fa karate con uno che stava in classe con te al liceo.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em> </em></p>
<p>Si possono trarre conclusioni a prova di dubbio, ad esempio: se il tipo con cui esci e la sua ex non accedono a <span style="color:#ff00ff;">MySpace</span> dallo stesso esatto giorno è ovvio che sono in vacanza insieme, quindi lui ti ha mentito e quando torna è il caso di piantare una grana epocale, <span style="color:#ff00ff;">fidati</span>. Per non parlare della classifica degli amici… metti che all’aperitivo di venerdì hai visto X, che esce con Y, chiacchierare un po’ troppo con Z che guarda caso è amica di Y. Se lunedì noti che Y ha tolto sia X che Z dai <span style="color:#ff00ff;">top friends</span>, stai sicura che è <span style="color:#ff00ff;">scoppiato il casino.</span></p>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><img style="vertical-align:text-bottom;margin-top:3px;margin-bottom:3px;" src="http://news.ninemsn.com.au/img/2007/entertainment/2902_perez2_g_lg.jpg" alt="Perez" width="222" height="150" />

padre spirituale di ogni portinaia</pre>
<p><strong>Intervallo telenovelas</strong><br />
Il Portierato Elettronico può causare <span style="color:#ff00ff;">effetti collaterali</span> anche gravi, come dimostra la seguente storiella, accaduta già da qualche anno.<br />
I protagonisti sono <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica A (io), Amica B, Amica C e Lo Stronzo</span>. Tutti i personaggi risiedono in <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Braziu</span>, esclusa <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica A</span> che ha lasciato i tropici per smanettare sul computer nella nostra ridente Comunità Europea.</p>
<p>Colta da saudade, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica A</span> legge il blog di <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica B</span>, che scrive bene e ama raccontare le sue <span style="color:#ff00ff;">(dis)avventure</span> amorose. Stavolta <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica B</span> parla della sua nuova fiamma, con cui esce sporadica ma ormai regolarmente. Dà a intendere di averci fatto un po’ di tutto e ora è triste perché lui è sparito nel nulla. Traccia quindi un divertente <span style="color:#ff00ff;">identikit</span> dello scomparso, descrivendolo minuziosamente: nome di battesimo, iniziale del cognome, capelli biondi e occhi azzurri perché di origine tedesca, ha tatuato sul braccio una specie di clown malefico.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Amica A</span>, che dista dalla scena almeno 13 ore di volo senza contare gli scali, si sente un attimo mancare: la descrizione corrisponde per filo e per segno al <span style="color:#ff00ff;">fidanzato</span> – da 8 anni, con anello al dito – della sua carissima <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica C</span>!<br />
Cosa fare? Cosa non fare? Nulla, se non fosse che <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica C</span> <span style="color:#ff00ff;">sta per sposarlo</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Lo Stronzo</span>.<br />
Poche settimane dopo <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica A</span> va in Braziu a trovare i suoi, e parla. Ci sono delle conferme (<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica B</span> è tutt’altro che l’unica scappatella). Scoppia il casino. L’anello va a farsi benedire.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Amica A </span>non se ne pente perché alla fine <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica B</span> si è fatta un po’ più furba, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amica C</span> è rinata come <span style="color:#ff00ff;">donna indipendente</span> e <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Lo Stronzo</span> continua a credere che il suo solo errore sia stato farsi beccare.</p>
<p><strong>Tornando a noi</strong><br />
È vero che il Portierato Elettronico può essere <span style="color:#ff00ff;">irresistibile</span>, soprattutto quando ci piace qualcuno, ma la <span style="color:#ff00ff;">patologia</span> è dietro l’angolo. Nervi saldi e autocontrollo sono fondamentali per non lasciarsi trascinare in un vortice di paranoie campate in aria, anche più delle paranoie normali. Praticarlo senza che prenda il sopravvento, ecco il segreto: <span style="color:#ff00ff;">roba per vere dure</span>, insomma.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Do you know why I quit Myspace? It&#8217;s quite simple, actually: I got tired of putting people on my top friends when I wasn&#8217;t on theirs and having to worry if I was doing the same to other people. I don&#8217;t like putting effort into a one-sided relationship; I&#8217;m sure you know what I mean.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that we&#8217;d all like to think people think of us just as much as we think of them and care about us just as much as we care about them. It&#8217;s tiring and depressing to consider anything else. Putting effort into a one-sided relationship is draining because you&#8217;re chasing after that person, trying to make them care, trying to make them like you &#8212; and we all want to be liked. When someone doesn&#8217;t like you, but you like them, it can be a real blow to your self-esteem, depending on your personality.</p>
<p>I have a couple friends who just shrug off things like that, acting like they don&#8217;t care. At least one of them is actually lying to himself, though; I can see it on his face every time something happens. If he finds out someone doesn&#8217;t like him, he just lies to himself until it becomes truth and he doesn&#8217;t care. Me, I&#8217;m the opposite. I tend to take it to heart, and it hurts, and then I take whatever action I decide on after that. It takes time, but these and other similar approaches usually work.</p>
<p>What sucks is when you can&#8217;t stop caring.</p>
<p>It makes me sad to be, or watch, the person who chases after someone who doesn&#8217;t like them. There&#8217;s a kid in one of my classes, for example, who is a complete social outcast &#8212; his clothes, mannerisms, attitude &#8212; they all combine to make him someone that nobody likes. Yet, he keeps trying to talk to and befriend people, even though all of them make it obvious that they want nothing to do with him. What keeps him going?</p>
<p>He has no other choice. I heard something interesting in one of my classes. &#8220;An individual cannot exist outside of society. As a social being, his identity is related to his social standing.&#8221; He needs to have that human connection, just like the rest of us, and is willing to drag himself through the mud every day trying to get it. Some of us just choose people out of our reach.</p>
<p>There are those people who we want so badly to connect to. They&#8217;re really charismatic &#8212; either in looks, personality, or both &#8212; and we&#8217;re attracted to them, like moths to a flame. But like that flame, some of them burn us, sending us spiraling down towards the earth with just a touch, a word, an action that says, &#8220;hey, I don&#8217;t like you.&#8221; It&#8217;s a rough landing, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>I hate being that person who cares more, opening up for someone only to find that I&#8217;m an &#8220;acquaintance&#8221; or less than that. I guess that&#8217;s why I occasionally find myself hating the online networking sites. The top friends features perpetrate situations like this all the time, and even when you&#8217;re not friended by someone else it can make you feel the same way.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mean to condemn online sites in saying this. Networking sites have a lot of good points too, letting us keep in touch with people we wouldn&#8217;t otherwise. They can be a lot of fun. But in watching the world around me, I have been made to wonder how many people have been hurt out of lines being drawn and conclusions made based on who your &#8220;friends&#8221; are.</p>

<p>               I have a MySpace account like most people I know. I recently had a discussion with one of my friends about how she was disappointed with some of her online friends. That’s when the light went off in my brain. I think that MySpace should have I’m mad at you section. It could be located right next to your Top Friends. So much clicking would go on that you will have forgotten why you were online in the first place. Now who shall I put in my number one spot……</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Altså&#8230;. jag har 165 vänner på facebook. Av dessa 165 får man plats med 30 stycken på en top-friend-lista. Här om dagen försvann en av dem&#8230;. längst ned i mitten är ett frågetecken utan namn under där det för bara några dagar sedan var ett foto. I två dagar har ju försökt lista ut vem dessertören är utan att lyckas. Hur bra vänner är egentligen mina top-friend-vänner om jag inte ens lyckas komma på detta??</p>
