Facebook Applications, The New Spam Part 2

For the last two months I let the amount of applications I get invited to pile up on Facebook. Currently I have over 150 different applications that I have been invited to. Yes that is right, 150 applications. I have decided to go through and review these ten at at time and give you my typically sarcastic opinion on each and everyone of them.

My Aquarium- I wonder if I can get a sunken ship (3 Invites)

What they say: Start your own virtual aquarium! Send fish, sharks and even octopus to your friends for free. Let them send items to you as well. Put your virtual aquarium on your profile page for everyone to see.

What I say: Almost as boring as an actual aquarium.

Likeness Quiz- Compare yourself to your friends (17 Invites)

What they say: Dare to compare. Find out who you’re like!

What I say: I always thought I was original now I need to be shoehorned into a mold and be compared to a girl that listens to Fall Out Boy? I think not.

Compare People- Who stands where and where do you fit in (5 Invites)

What they say: Find out who stands where in various categories: cutest, sexiest,
smartest and many more. Most importantly, find out where you fit in!

When someone is compared, they may be notified. Your friends cannot
find out how you compared them except when it’s an innocuous
compliment. For example, if someone loses a comparison, they will not
know that they lost. If you rate compare someone on a dating
question, they won’t know how you chose. There is no way for someone
to look at the rank lists and see who said what about them.

Also, don’t forget to submit your own questions for inclusion.

What I say: I graduated high school ten years ago, do I need to vote where I think people fit in on a social scale again.

X-Me- Hug Me, Table Dance for Me, Tickle, Hi Five, Annoy (17 Requests)

What they say: Tired of being poked? Set an action on your profile and allow people to do anything to you :) If there’s a problem, look at the “Issues” section on the X Me page, or post below.

What I say: Can I give someone cholera from this?

Top Friends- Aka go back to MySpace (35 Requests)

What they say: Save time and show your friends some love. Add a box of up to 32 your BFFs to your profile. Now they are one click away, you don’t have to search every time you want to go check up on them. Now the question is… who is in your top friends box?

What I say: Where have I seen this before?

I Wanna Get Laid- Who doesn’t? (3 Invites)

What they say: Who doesn’t want to get Lei’d? Come to the Hawaiian Luau. Make some friends… and get LEI’D!!

What I say: I am mad I that I wasn’t original enough to come up with a different joke that they already ha.
Scrabulous- (2 Invites)

What they say: Play Scrabulous, the coolest word game with your family and friends, right here at Facebook. Games are turn based, so you don’t have to be online at the same time to play. And it’s very easy to start simultaneous games too. Happy gaming to all!

What I say: I have to admit I am kind of a scrabble fan, so I added it.

What’s Your Stripper Name- (1 Invite)

What they say: Every facebook user has a stripper name.

This app will tell you yours… PLUS… Find out the secret stripper names of your friends!

Sincerely yours,

Mecki Wunderschlong.

NEW and IMPROVED:

♥ Now with male stripper names!
♥ Customize and pimp your stripper name with Glitter!
♥ Rate your friends’ stripper names!

What I say: Anyone that creates an application that involves glitter should be shot.

Naughty Gifts- (1 Invite)

What they say: Send very naughty gifts to your friends with very naughty comments.

What I say: Was my gift that I received ever so naughty… I can’t believe you can send gerbils. (kidding)

Superlatives- (2 Invites)

What they say: Superlatives has finally arrived!

Find out who is the hottest girl, or who is most likely to become president in this fun, easy to use application.

What I say: One thing that I have never understood about social networking is people’s never ending desire to rank each other. This application is just another desperate call for attention, nothing useful or fun about it.
