Do you facebook?

Facebook is rapidly catching up with Myspace in becoming the largest and most popular social networking site. It took me quite some time to join an invite from a friend and thereafter, I was addicted!

I am still exploring and testing some of the applications. Join me in my journey of exploration and discovery in Facebook.

Applications on Facebook

With Facebook’s launch of f8 platform, developers are able to develop their own applications that integrate tightly with Facebook. This has opened up many doors of opportunities to software developers. If you are a software developer, this will be a great time to put monetize your skills. Many companies are starting to tap onto this opportunites and they will require your expertise to build an application that can help promote their business on Facebook.

Till date, there are already over 10,000 applications added to Facebook and this number will keep growing. Most of the applications are for fun and entertainment. But I would expect more commercial applications to be seen in the near future.


You can find a list of applications on their application directory. This directory shows the newest and most popular applications, along with a counter of how many people are using them. You can add or remove these applications anytime. Once you've found the one you like, you can simply add it to your profile. Likewise, if you find one of your friends using an application, you can click the link to its name to find out more about it. After adding the application, you can invite your friends to add the application on their profile too.
