If you ever wondered, why I act so jaded about Facebook, I present the above screen shot as one reason.
A Facebook application called Poo Fight has become one of the applications with the most activity. Now you may ask, what does Poo Fight do? Well the name really says it all. It allows you to send imaginary poop to your friends through Facebook. *shakes head*
Poo Fight typifies my Facebook application platform user experience. I know there are some good ones. I was at Facebook Dev Garage DC tonight and saw some being demo’d but unfortunately they aren’t what everyone is using.
Seriously… someone please tell me about how Facebook the network itself or an app in the network has changed your life by allowing you to stay in touch with your friends in some new deep meaningful way.
If you’re a Facebook app developer, contact me and tell me how your app is going to change my life. If it’s good, i’ll tell everyone I know about it.
Hands up… it was me.
I really didn’t think it would take off. I was staggered when it got into the directory. But hey ho… if people want to throw poo, they want to throw poo, who am I to judge?
At least I’m not making them fill out questionnaires to throw poo like this guy:

Apologies, world.
Yeah facebook applications are kind of out of hand. I just ignore them all and use it for the same purpose as always: passively stalking my friends! 😀
