Top 17 Less Useful Facebook Apps
While browsing Facebook recently, I noticed that many people seem to have an overload of apps that are less useful than the more well known apps. I have compiled a list with these apps, which I hope you will enjoy. Accompanying the listing are some comments that I have made.
P.S. I wouldn’t sign up for these.
Exhibit 1. Vibrating Hamster
YES! A Vibrating Hamster!
Exhibit 2. Pirates vs. Ninjas
The Eternal Debate.
Exhibit 2A. Vampires vs. Werewolves
A lesser known eternal debate. I didn’t know they were fighting. I naturally thought that Vampires and Werewolves were cooperating to fight the forces of good. I guess I was wrong.
Exhibit 3. MySpace Link
For my Facebook?
Exhibit 3A. MySpace(r) Slideshow Viewer
All the cool kids are using www.flickr.com .
Exhibit 4. Daily Satanic Bible Excerpt
Que?
Exhibit 5. Harry Potter Fan
Only if I was a super hard core fan. I mean I like Emma Watson, but I don’t need everyone to know.
Exhibit 5A. Harry Potter Voldemorts horcruxes
Crucio! Crucio! *Flicks Wand* Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
Exhibit 6. God Save the Queen
Puts a picture of the queen in my profile. Only if I was British, and even then it is a tad creepy.
Exhibit 7. FriendInsulter
Self-defeating. Do you really want to insult your friends? Then they won’t be your friends.
Exhibit 7A. Dissed!
Exhibit 8. MatchMyPet: My Pet Profile
I love my dog..making your pet a page is sort of excessive.
Exhibit 9. PayPal
For those special moments when you have an urging to tell everyone that you are a moocher.
Exhibit 10. Bathroom Graffiti Project
Oh, so classy. Reminds me of: “Stay classy, San Diego” - Ron Burgundy
Exhibit 11. I’ve Got Kids!
Creepy.
Exhibit 12. Virtual iPhone
“I am an Apple fanboy!!1!!” And all three only get one picture, cause they are all copies of each other.
Exhibit 12A. iPhony
Same.
Exhibit 12B. I Want a Virtual iPhone
Same.
Exhibit 15. Reddit
Exhibit 13. Snippets
Also known as..www.pownce.com, www.twitter.com, www.jaiku.com. (I have linked to some interesting posts about each.)
Exhibit 14. App Critic
I already do that for you. Done.
Exhibit 17. Hello [world of your choice]
A programmers dream is not needed on my Facebook.
Want a useful addon? Devin Reams wrote a good article about Facebook’s toolbar. Check it.
Have any to add? Tell me.

You hit the nail on the head with this list. But the scary part is that a LOT of people use these.

meh - facebook, myspace and similar sites - I just don’t see the point getting profiles on those when I have my own website!
I mean my own bloody website - I can put whatever I want on! - With no advertising! and no dopey links from people who “want” to be your friend (but may have other reasons probably due to the fact they can’t get any?)
The good ol’ website hosting wins me over for this one…
