so, the people that use facebook..have you noticed the new things added on it?

they call them, "applications."

you can actually add music onto your facebook site, play games, mess around with their "photoshop", etc. and it's all free!




i put music on mine.

BOO, this sucks. They only play like a 30 second preview for the songs!
Wait, no, never mind. I get it now. I feel like a noob!

Just added the Games application. Apparently, the iLike application is terrible and only plays 30 second clips. Boo. :(

Going to have to search for the Photoshop one myself, but Diana, you can browse apps here: http://utoronto.facebook.com/apps/

Not even gifts? C'mon, don't tell me you don't like seeing (will edit this later whenever I happen to remember to check Anna's Facebook profile) on your page every day!

lol (Anna Wang). I have the gifts section collapsed, and the only gift that I've received is a thong from James (!!!!!!!!!!); I deleted the other gift I received, as I don't talk to that guy anymore. :P

I kind of liked facebook more simple and definitely without music because I don't want it to turn into myspace.

I agree. I think they are trying to be more and more like myspace, well at least have the personalization aspect of it, and I don't think it's working. Personally, I liked that Facebook was simple and direct, no shitty layouts and people's music to distract me.

Thanks for telling me. But the thing is that i don't think you can change your music to your own preference.

yes you can. you choose which song you want out of their list, or you can upload your own if they dont have it.

and it even plays the entire song.

Hahaha Obama app. Cool.

The Obama application puts the most recent campaign video and news on your profile and in front of your friends. It also enables you to easily communicate with your friends in early primary states where support for Barack is especially important.

And Rupture...wow.

This application will publish your World of Warcraft character pictures and statistics onto your Facebook profile.

I added the iLike to mine, but I took it off after a day. All these things will make Facebook too messy eventually. =/

Ugh. Seriously, I don't like them AT ALL. Facebook is just turning into Myspace now. I don't like how everyone has five billion apps on their profile, and it takes a ton of scrolling just to get down the the comments. sad.gif

Actually, I don't like any of the new things Facebook's been doing. It makes it way too complicated. It was better when it was simple and clean.

actually i hope they stop adding applications at this super fast rate. it's becoming messy and facebook is no longer the clean interface that was the reason i switched from myspace.

DESPISE most of these with a passion. I like the iLike for the quiz, which I pwn, and the Political compass solely because I lik ebeing the most liberal person I know.

Most of it is just complete crap, though.

I despise almost all these applications.
I like the honesty box just because it's interesting, and I'm a little attached to my music... (but I think I'm going to take the music off anyway).

CLUTTER>!*!&(!#
I hate the graffiti application with a passion. Top friends as well... just horrible.

Food fight, fortune cookie, friend quizzes, horoscope, favorite peeps, hot or not, movies, the fashion thingy, superpoke, drinks, x me - I just feel like telling all my friends to go back to preschool.

Causes are great and everything, but facebook really needs to find a more efficient and orderly way to place all this.

Eh, don't care for them too much. I agree, it is becoming too much like myspace. I liked Facebook because it was much simpler, but now everything is all cluttered on the page.

At first I thought this was such a bad idea because it would turn into myspace soon or something but I really don't mind it.
It still keeps a simple layout kind of because theres still no hotpink glittery crap on it.
I mean sure there are those few people that look like they have every application on it but some of these applications are prettty unique. We just have to get use to it since facebook is becoming more popular @_@;;

Oh man, graffiti is the shit and also the X me thing.
Thats basically all the apps i have. besides the horoscope thing. haha.

I usually just log into facebook to return a barrage of pokes. I see top friends making facebook too much like myspace *shrug*. But I Really don't care much. I just poke people.
