AllFacebook: The Lack of a Golden App

  • Adam Donkus · 2 years ago
    Do you know of a definitive list of Facebook Apps? How about a Facebook App directory?

    How about a Mybloglog.com App?

    The Flixster and Yahoo! Music Videos apps are pretty "golden" to me. They add plenty of value, and take advantage of many social features in Facebook.

    Hi Adam,

    I use the Facebook application directory to view all the approved Facebook applications. There are also ones that haven't been approved so you have to scour the web to find others. It is almost impossible to track all approved and unapproved but you can get pretty darn close.

    There is an application similar to Mybloglog which is called "Trakzor" ... have you seen it?

    A "Golden App" is rather judgmental and based on opinion. I consider some of the apps I use golden. I've installed or used a lot of apps even if it was for a sec, yet none of them I keep unless they actually adds functionality/value on top of what facebook does as is. Like the most recent personal golden app for me is 'College Football.' I love the bracket and all that stuff facebook provide during college basketball season. I always wonder if anything like that can come to college football and so long and behold this app.

    Other personal golden app; the official last.fm - nothing beats listening to a radio that plays songs you actually listened to before.

    I think we'll definitely see stuff that leverages your social capital (your friends) to benefit both you and them. I don't see mybloglog being a good choice for this, for privacy reasons, and the fact that it might not work.

    but i can guarantee that we will see some very compelling apps that enhance the user experience and the utility of facebook immensely. everything you've seen so far has taken less than 2 months to build, so we'll see more complex stuff as time goes by.
