Popular Facebook Apps

This post will give a more in depth look at the most popular Facebook Applications avaliable for Facebook users' profiles.

Free Gifts
Based off of the 'Gift' idea that originally comes with Facebook, Free Gifts allows users with the application to exchange virtual gifts (essentially an icon or picture of something like a cake, for example) between users.

Human Pets
Probably the most successful application on Facebook. Human Pets creates a sub-profile of the user with the application, and gives users the ability to buy eachother using Human Pet 'points'. The application also offers great social extras like a chat room, which includes a multiplayer crossword, and other tools for making 'Herds' (essentially the same as 'groups' on the default Facebook).

Photos/Videos
Default programs that Facebook provide, which allow users to upload pictures or videos and 'tag' the people contained in them.

Top Friends
A popular feature on most social networking websites, Top Friends allows users with the application to create a thumbnail list of their top friends in their Facebook friends list.


There are hundreds more applications, but these are the more popular, or atleast most well known ones.
