Is it me, or are there more useless applications around at the moment? I'll scream the next time anyone invites me to find out what kind of chocolate bar or country I am.
Does anyone care that I'm perhaps a Fijian Mars Bar or an Icelandic Snickers, and what does mean anyway?

There are many many useless applications, I just ignore them all, the requests go down in volume eventualy, unless you have some particulary bored friends.

Made worse by your newsfeed being choked up with updates that "So-and-so has discovered a fluffy bunny in the secret garden" and "Joe Bloggs scored 73% in the Children's programmes from the 80's quiz".

Last week's Facebook had a cross you could click on to disable all that crap now the cross disables the whole person. In some cases that could be a plus, I know, but the control seems to be slipping away from the user.

Still, I wonder what next week's Facebook will bring...
