“Incredibly Useful” ???
Come on Noupe, there is no way that is even remotely true about 50% of the apps you’ve posted.
great article and helpful list for connectivity, thanks a lot..
That was by far one of the most useless lists I have ever read. Even the best apps on there were only marginally useful. SuperPoke? Really?? Arnt the normal pokes annoying enough as is. Stop spamming digg
I like to use twitter. But in general a good list
Well I didn’t know there are useful tools like that in facebook because so all I see my friends posting on the wall is a bunch of test.
well I guess maybe some people will find this useful, but for me I don’t
The one we developped is not as popular as the one you mentionned, but people love it, because you can get your events or friends birthday directly in your Calendar application, like iCal, Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.
It is simply called fbcal and is accessible here http://www.fbcal.com or http://www.fbcalendar.com
I hope you love it too.
You should also try our friends5. It Allows you to publish fun top5s of friends (craziest friends, most likely to get married in less than 2 year, most likely to be elected president…).
And you can of course create your own category.
It does induce A LOT of conversations in the newstream :)
You can try it here : http://apps.facebook.com/friends-five
What about ReverbNation… its a great music app on its own or with facebook. my friends work there so this is my shameless plug for the day!!!
How about 25 Random Thongs?
http://apps.facebook.com/twentyfivethongs/
Yeah, some of these are useful but most are pretty lame.
Not at all a good collection. Sorry Noupe disheartened this time.:-(
I can believe I even looked at this post. Better connectivity though an app that uses a photoshop filter to generate a “Sketch” from my profile picture?
Thanks for another incredibly helpful list post.
Lovely list!
