    When Facebook first implemented reviews onto the application about pages a couple days ago, I was hoping these reviews would help prioritize apps in the directory. However, after thinking about it, I don't know if this would be a good idea. For one, reviews can be "gamed". Also, on many about pages, it looks like users are using the reviews section in a way it's not intended to be used -- it's simply to respond to the users below them, say happy birthday to friends using the app, etc. Hopefully Facebook comes up with something, though I'm not sure what.

    And to answer your question, I have spent a lot of time browsing the directory, but I'm sure most dont.
