Facebook Apps Rant
I will try to make this short and sweet. I have yet to use a Facebook application that I like. Every single one that I have installed and tried to use ends up being more of a nuisance and virus-like than anything else.
Here’s a perfect example. The other day I got a notice that a friend of mine had made some pleasant comments about me and it suggested that I “Click to see what they said about you”. So I did. As expected it wanted to install some friend rating app so I thought that for just this once I’d install it and give it a shot. Big mistake. Once installed I was suddenly inundated with worthless screens wanting ME to rate my friends. I never did get to see what my friend had mentioned about me. I just couldn’t take it anymore and promptly deleted the app.
This is not the first time that I’ve dealt with such frustrations with Facebook apps. Which is why I completely ignore all requests from friends to install the annoying bits of digital trash. No more “Birthday Calendar” requests, no more “Share a Beer” or whatever. In my opinion, 3rd party Facebook apps are usually nothing more than viruses. Leave them alone!
Thank you for your ear and patience. I will end my rant now.
