Facebook has lately become, or at least, attempted to become some sort of entertainment center and a stalker heaven. However, there are some applications that are just plain ridiculous.
Their purpose is to be a social networking site, not a “let’s degrade people status’ and play mob wars while we’re at it” site. Here’s a list of applications to hit the ignore button on Facebook:
Mafia Wars: This application allows you to recruit friends to form a mafia and get weapons to basically mess with other mafias. Uhm, guys, there’s a reason you’re not part of a mafia. Don’t let your dreams get the best of you. Okay? Thanks. Stick to watching “Scarface” and playing “Grand Theft Auto” to satisfy your need to see guts flying.
Compare Friends: This application allows you to compare friends and give them rankings in different categories such as nicest, most stylish, and etc. I must admit I have this on my own Facebook but, yeah, it is kind of demeaning to have a “I’m better than you” application. Not only that, but people might start getting cocky.
Who cares if you’re ranked number three in the smartest category or 74 in the funniest? Plus, it gets kind of annoying to get constant notifications that you’ve just been compared to some other person.
Grid View: This application lets you basically stack up your friends in a grid that allows users to see all of your friends at one time. Seriously, no one cares how many friends you have.
Sure, the way it’s styled is nifty and cool, but it’s annoying when you have a grid that’s about the size of my face. Even you should realize that you don’t talk to the 534253 people that are your “friends.” This also applies to that application about how deep you roll on Facebook.
Friends For Sale: Besides the, you know, obvious hit to your ego when you realize your friends are worth more than you on facebook, there is no point to this application.
If you’re one of the people checking this app right when you get home, please allow me to admit you into the nearest mental institution.
Uhm, can anyone press the ignore button any faster?
