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.
I have recently found some money making applications on Facebook and would like to share some of the application that I am currently using them to earn some free cash on Facebook.
Cash Cliques
Cash Cliques allows you to earn free cash everyday in less than 5 minutes of your time. Install this application on your Facebook with a few easy steps. For every ad you click on, you will get paid!
It is simple and there are also random cash prizes to win up of $100. You can also refer your friends and get paid when friends you referred click on ads too! Payment will be made through Paypal or Check. Minimum payout is $10.
Clixcash Clixcash is a similar program to Cash Cliques. This is also a paid per ad viewed program. The difference is that you only need to view the ads for 20 seconds instead of 30.
Payment is also done through Paypal or Check. Minimum payout is $5 instead of $10.
As you can see in Facebook’s directory, there are thousands of applications to choose from, so which one should you choose? Here are a list of popular fun applications that you might want to explore.
Vibrating Hamster The vibrating hamster is a simple picture of a lovable rodent you can put on your profile. As the name suggests, every time you click the picture, the hamster vibrates violently while playing the Web meme-famous hamster dance song. To keep anonymous hamster vibrations at bay, the application will track who was the latest to click and display it prominently on your wall.
ILike iLike lets you add music and videos to your profile, dedicate songs to your friends, and see who’s going to what concerts. You can create an artist page, upload your music and events. Pretty cool application! However, they currently don’t have the full song uploaded, only 30-seconds samples but they claim to be working on it to get full songs catalog.
Superwall Superwall is a creation of RockYou, they have successfully created popular applications such as Vampires, MyGifts etc. Superwall provide more flexibility compared to the normal wall provided by Facebook. It allows you to write messages, post photos, and post videos on your friends superwall.
Vampires Vampires is an application which allows you to attack your friends turn them into bloody vampires. Bite all your friends with the curse of the vampire and see if you can turn them into undead, just like you. With this application, you can choose to fight your friends’s vampires, zombies and WereWolves.
Superpoke Superpoke provides more actions you can do to your friends than the normal poke provided by Facebook. You can throw a sheep, bake a cake or throw a snowball at your friends. The more you take action, the more new actions you will uncover in superpoke. Pretty addictive and fun to say hello to your friends.
My Aquarium This application is a fish tank simulator gone social. You start out with 250 coins to buy new fish, and earn an extra 100 every day. Each fish has a specific price and lifespan, with the more expensive and exotic creatures lasting longer than the cheapies. You can share fish with others, by sending them to your friend's tanks, and display them lovingly on your profile. The application will also publicly display a history of the fish you've sent and received. Unfortunately there's no animation or movement; the fish just sit there.
Where I’ve Been Rumored to be the largest acquisition for a Facebook Application to date. Travel company TripAdvisor has reportedly acquired Where I’ve Been from Craig Ulliott for $3 million. Where I’ve Been is an interactive map that allows you to add all the places you've been and where you want to someday go. Then you can compare maps with your other friends.
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.
