The force of nature known as Clay tagged me for a blogmeme:
What Facebook apps do you have and why?
OK, let’s give it a shot, roughly grouped by “function”, then in descending order from most favorite to least useful:
Sharing:
Posted Items
What a great way to share interesting bits with your FB network! It is simple and flexible (you can edit image, pullquote, and comment). And, as Clay mentioned, a much more social way of sharing than your del.icio.us list. One of the best parts of FB so far.- Twitter
Works well. A little snapshot of my Tweets. Neat. - Video
Very simple to share and watch others’ share videos - and who doesn’t love to share YouTube clips!? - Notes
For the more verbose. I have not used this a lot, but I like it. - Blog Friends
I love the concept that my friends’ blog updates get feed into my newsfeed - but so far only one or two other people have tied in their blogs to this service, and so the utility is close to zero. But I like the idea. - iLike
Useless on its own. So I actually have the iLike plugin on my iTunes, but to get this to work, I have to spend time typing in artists, albums, songs … for what? why? Soon to be deleted. - Flickr
If only it worked. This has had the same 6 photos since the day I installed it 9 months ago. Umm, hello? - Pandora
Not bad, but … meh. Is anyone else using this?
Group Interaction:
- My Questions
A super fun way to interact with your FB network. Silly questions or serious - I always click when asked and usually try to answer. Try me! - Interactive Friends Graph
Just installed this tonight, after being encouraged by Nancy W. Very cool. Not sure that I will ever look at it again, though. - Socialistics
I do not know what this does.
Friendly Fun:
- Scrabulous
OMG I LOVE SCRABBLE! Also, I had pretty much quit playing any kind of game on the chaputer. Now I am back on my game. Suhweeet! - Free Gifts
A fun way to share a warm or funny image/feeling with a friend. - X Me
Neat but so far haven’t used it alot. - Super Wall
See X Me - FunWall
Really, I don’t think I need all these walls. - Zombies
Kill me now.
Socializing:
- Books iRead
I really like this app. A great way to keep track of things I have read, which is something that I’d like to do. Also, as others adopt it, a good way to find good books from the reading lists of others who you are curious about. - Movies
I dunno, I thought the survey was kind of silly. I prefer to spend my movie socializing effort over at Netflix. - Cal Football Fans
Just showing my school colors. - US Politics
Why did I install this?
I’m tagging Anny, Nancy, and Christina … what do you say, ladies?
