Sometimes the simplest answer is correct. Sometimes not.

On Facebook Apps…

May 31st, 2007 · No Comments

I've added a goodly number of apps, primarily to see what they do (with the F8 developer network) and get some insight as to how Facebook and their partners are going to monetize them. The moves Facebook is making at the least makes them a serious threat to MySpace, and possibly even to bigger targets like Yahoo. No, really.

Anywho, here are the apps I've installed:

digg
del.icio.us
Games
iLike
Last.fm
Meebo
The Compass
upscoop
Files

Have you found anything cool, or wish for something that isn't here yet?

Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking a resumé application, something maybe off the back of LinkedIn; a weather widget that cycles through various places; a webcam widget that shuffles through various webcams, a blog discovery widget, and the killer app of all, maybe even better than Google, would be Facebook Office.

Note: One big concern – there are no privacy setting for apps – this is something that warrant fixing ASAP.  There also some discussion on the internets about the ownership and intellectual property rights granted to developers.
