I value my privacy specially my Family's (take note 's not ies) and which is why I filter quite a lot. I have since removed dozens of nonsense Facebook apps except for Mafia Wars (Yeah!!!) and some others. .-= Archon DigitalÂ´s last blog ..My Twitter Followers Were Abducted by Aliens =-.

One of my closest friends admitted to me that she blcoked all the applications I’ve invited her in, but I don’t care anyway. Interestingly, I noticed that she actually installed those tricky apps like Activate and Facebook Chat v2.0 – those I’ve mentioned

Nice addition about the Facebook API. I hope someone who lands into this post takes note of your warning.

You sure you want to admit that in public, bloggista? We have to have an intervention, now.

Good point, though – we probably owe it to our friends to block a few apps in the new year.

@Holly, if I did this on Farmville, Jan would not have been hooked too. It’s my fault.

This is a great tutorial for people who want to get stop all their friends from sending them endless invitations to silliness (although a little silliness is a good thing, sometimes…)

I wish I’d known about this BEFORE I got hooked on Fishville.

Good post. Some apps are really annoying. Actually pillow fight is fine for me. I do not like friends for sale.

Also here’s something everyone should know: because of the Facebook API, some of your information is stored or “cached” to someone else’s server. You’ll never know how they will profit from the information but surely they just don’t do it for fun. That is how the web services business work. (I should know. It’s my job).
