Facebook Apps hotties
Quick question: Does your idea of a perfect Friday evening involve cold beer, fried chicken and uploading pictures to your Facebook account? Also, have you forgotten how to play Poker with a real deck of cards?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you need to join Facebook Anonymous (and no, it’s not an application found in Facebook).
Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has weaselled into the lives of more than 31 million users. So addictive that the New York Times has reported that Facebook is lowering employee’s productivity.
The site has become the hottest new application development platform on the Web. When Facebook opened up its platform to independent developers in May last year, it became a hotbed for hungry start-ups like Booze Mail and iLike, which let you do anything from sending Virtual Martinis to watching music videos.
Here is Digital Hub’s take on the hottest Facebook applications.
FotoFlexer
Forget running on the treadmill or lifting weights. With the FotoFlexer, you can trim that beer belly or add some six packs without having to sweat it out in the gym.
This nifty photo-editing too not only lets you add effects or change the brightness of your images, it also digitally enlarges your muscles and shrinks your waist at a button’s click. Great when you want to upload your new images onto your Facebook photo album.
Dating DNA
You have fewer that 10 friends on Facebook, out of which five are your mother’s Book Club members. Instead of sitting in a corner and moaning about your insipid social life, try Dating DNA.
The app should widen your social network by letting you chat with anyone on Facebook. Spy a cute brunette? Drop her a message or send some virtual flowers her way.
Single Facebook members will also dig this application – the site accesses your interests and personality and hooks you up with compatible singles.
Honesty Box
Add this to your profile page and your friends can leave anonymous messages that describe your personality – anything from “You’re hot” to “You’re a terrible dancer”.
The best part is that the person leaving the note doesn’t have to be signed in to Honesty Box. So you’ll have absolutely no way of sussing out who wrote what.
Skype Me
Forget painstakingly powering up Skype whenever you want to chat with your friends in other countries. Miss your spouse who’s currently overseas? Simply click the Skype Me application on Facebook, dial the number you want and start yakking.
Music Mixes
Most of us can probably remember sitting in front of our cassette players after school, recording Bananarama or Culture Club tracks onto cassette tapes.
Now you can relive your childhood with the Music Mixes app, which lets you create your own virtual mixtapes by adding tracks and sending them to your friends. What more, you can personalize your mixtape by adding in your own voice introduction at the start of the tape.
Polyvore
Fashionistas will adore the Polyvore app. It lets you create your own runway outfits using threads and accessories from brands like Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Topshop.
With thousands of outfits updated almost every day, you’ll guaranteed a visual fashion fest every time you log on.
