Farmville = fab. Sending requests is the best part of the game. I even went so far as to add total strangers from the fan site….

However, enough is enough. I only sent invites to people that send me invites. I have rules.

Applications like photos, events (a lifesaver when it comes to remembering birthdays) and groups are pretty useful. Groups are always a laugh: You were sexy until I discovered that you liked Twilight (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=185426058838)
and: David Attenborough should narrate porn (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34032380088) are such delightful examples of shared opinions.
However applications such as horoscopes, pink cows, zombie mafia etc are just of time and screenspace.

In conclusion:
Fb apps are like boobs- they can be used for good or evil. Both are extremely distracting when you or someone else is playing with them.

This is the single most reason lite.Facebook.com is a godsend. Saves you all that trouble.

I have facebook on my tweetdeck, and I despise the endless scroll of application updates I have to go through to get to comments I might find interesting. I once made the supreme sacrafice of actually logging into facebook to block a bunch of apps. My tweetdeck was blissfully app-spam free for a brief while. But the apps just breed and mutate and come back stronger and more numerous. I need a global and perpetual app update blocker. Maybe ssomeone will make an app for that ;)

HAHA! this article is awesome! it was the worst when I went to church and one of the old ladies said “i can’t get Lacinda to join my farm”

I hate to admit it, but I did like Son in Law….Pauly Shore did do one thing right :)

Even better than navigating to the application’s page, you can block any application from invitations sent to you from the invitation page. Below the buttons to accept and ignore are links to the options “Block this application” and “Block all invites from this friend.”

The first is a good option for a single popular application. The second I have found useful for certain friends who don’t understand the concept of “spam.”

Ditto Aimee, except mine is Sorority Life. And I only got it so I could name my character Skanky McSluterson.

Oh, I do the FarmVille thing. But I don’t send requests. Or gifts. And half the time I forget that I have the damn thing.

I’m the biggest hypocrite in the Facebook universe… I used to “mentally kick people in the balls” for sending me mafia requests… then I started FarmVille and it’s fun… yeah Aimee, we’re never going to be friends… :-(
