What apps do you use? Anything cool you've come across that's worth adding?

My list right now is pretty weak, but I've just added a new one called Blabble which allows you to mess with your pics by putting word bubbles on them and filling them in. (Addictive... gives a whole new meaning to 'freedom of speech!')

I also added the MyBand, MyMap, and MyHeritage.

I have Graffiti and Bumper Sticker installed, but I haven't used either in a while. I was sick from work one day and added Texas Hold'em for fun, and I played the Car IQ game for a while. Besides that I try and stay away from apps. I'm glad I stopped getting those freaking stupid ninja/zombie/pirate/elf you've-been-bitten/sliced/hacked-so-add-this-app-and-irritate-all-of-your-friends invites.

Most facebook apps are annoying (to me).

I think I just have the very very basic set of apps, photos, videos. That's it.

I also don't use any of the apps really. Wall, photos, status, that is really all I need.

I like Wall and messages, as well as pictures, but the rest, as Laminar points out, have been really a pain. Some of my friends seem to try a bunch of apps and then poke/invite/etc. me to try them too, and by the time I have an opportunity to see what it is they're talking about, they've moved on to some other app. I just let those invitations slide most of the time.

Was I the only one that thought this thread was going to be about Facebook hookers?

This thread should be about Facebook hookers.

eric, I've tried myflickr but it's not exactly what I want. Interface is wonky for one, and I hate all the fake buttons in it that link to other spammy apps. Is there a way to get your flickr pix to facebook without uploading from the desktop?

but if you and 999,999 of your closest friends join I'll give $1 to help children somewhere. Why won't you ever think of the children?

There are plugins for iPhoto and Aperture, but no other way of importing directly from Flickr.

1) Block app invitations
2) Block invitations from the users who send it to you.

I haven't had app invites in months and I have 556 friends
