The Best Facebook Apps

Nick Mokey By

Facebook Apps

Behold the best Facebook apps (applications) ever: We sort through the quizzes and virtual pet apps to bring you Facebook’s top games, utilities, productivity tools and more.

You spend half the day browsing through pictures of friends on Facebook. Change your status six times a day. And have a number of friends somewhere in the four digits. Congratulations, you’re a Facebook addict. And you may never see the light of day again after delving into Facebook Apps.

As much flexibility as Facebook already allows users in creating their profiles, Facebook Apps push the limits even more. From cooperative games to anonymous tip boxes and image editors, social networkers can take their profiles to the next level with features Mark Zuckerberg never would have dreamt possible back in 2004. Here are 20 of our favorite Facebook Apps across four categories.

  2. fellody at 8:46am 19th July 2011 Hey, we have a new facebook app online. It matches your music-"likes" with those of your friends. As a result it shows you a ranking with the highest music-matches among your friends. You can filter if you want to see the result for all friends or only for women or men. It also shows you the top artists among your friends. Hope you like it! http://apps.facebook.com/fellody/

  4. Martin Gorm Pedersen at 4:56am 3rd June 2011 Another cool utility is the myGeoBook app that allows you add a map tab to your facebook fan page. You can create any number of points-of-interest and customize their look and feel. The same map can then be use on your website, blog or mobile. Pretty nifty: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=1...

  23. gopster at 11:51am 25th August 2010 Hello Mates, I am actually seeking some help for some developers to help me out, on a specialized share button. Here's how it goes, for example you have http://www.digitaltrends.com. and on this website you have articles and you also have a share button, where visitors can actually share those articles from your website. What i actually want to do is, i want this share button to be customized to do an extra thing. which is, when "E.g: peter" clicks this share button it actually fetches the name peter from facebook , and adds it into the url and then the share is done. so when the share is done it will look something like this http://www.digitaltrends.com/?ref=peter can this be done?
  24. Create facebook app at 5:05am 16th August 2010 Interesting blog post. Thanks for sharing this.

  33. pariuri sportive at 6:58am 26th April 2010 The "Where I've Been" is the greatest application far from any other.
  34. Brett at 4:56am 22nd April 2010 There is a really good app on facebook that reads your feeds for all the games you play on facebook. it can take all the bonus’ from Cafe World, Yoville, farmville and too many other games to list and put all the links in one spot so you don’t have to go searching all of your friends profiles for free stuff. Its a great way to get an edge on your friends that all play the game too. The games is called GameScrubber all you have to do is search for it. or just click here apps.facebook.com/gamescrubber

  44. Val at 4:24pm 10th February 2010 I really love Bejeweled Blitz - it's so addicting though! Everyone from my work is on it and we all stay up late trying to beat each other's scores. A useful app that I found and love is from Rent Jungle and it really helps in the apartment hunting process. Here's the link if you want to check it out! http://www.rentjungle.com/facebook/
  45. Help me decide at 9:34am 4th February 2010 I really like "Help me decide" ... finally a tool for the lazy, lost and indecisive: Social Decision Making is here!

  54. Sam at 4:41pm 21st January 2010 It's a scam because they spam people to death and trick them into signing up for the game. And then they charge for things.

    Its a joke.

  56. imbri at 4:36pm 21st January 2010 this post isn't even about farmville and besides it isn't a scam unless you're stupid and click on links from scammers using the farmville name.
  57. Dennis at 6:59am 13th January 2010 I also tried my hand at making a facebook app. Its called Picture Wars. You upload pics, make cards, get equipment, go to battle, etc... Maybe someone here could give at a go and let me know what they think?

  60. facebook applications at 11:56pm 13th December 2009 Most interesting information.. I love game and totally addicted Just looking forward to some new levels soon I hope....
    1. Gaurav Chhikara at 5:06pm 11th May 2011 I am trying to integrate my site http://gauravchhikara.com/ with facebook, how do I do it? please advise if you can.
  61. Jackie at 11:36am 13th December 2009 oops just click on my name above to play!
  62. jackie at 11:34am 13th December 2009 please check out my new app its a rpg adventure game, would love constructive criticism!
  63. buttonbeats at 7:38pm 12th December 2009 It was hard for me to understand how it works at first. It took me a while to understand that you just submit a link to a web page with the app on it and that displays in the iframe on the facebook app page. Currently I get 530 monthly users on facebook using my app. I just submitted it about 2 months ago. I am not sure how much traffic I get from the app on facebook. I think when the app gains popularity it will bring alot of traffic to my website.
  64. dang at 7:20pm 12th December 2009 Was it difficult for you? What type of traffic do you get to your servers from it?
  65. buttonbeats at 8:37am 12th December 2009 I made a Facebook App. I think its one of the best on there. Its a virtual piano. It turns your computers keyboard into a piano. All the notews are accurate and in tune. There are over 200 songs to play on the piano.
    1. Nopenoteven at 6:49pm 6th October 2010 Coolio, what's it called?

    1. Janette at 11:16am 10th January 2011 tried to click on your link... doesn't work.. sure would like to try it!!
  67. Thingbuzz at 5:20pm 11th December 2009 We just completed an application that helps you find gifts for your friends based on your friend's profiles. All you have to do is enter your friend's name and we will do the rest! Yes this is a plug for the app :) Let us know what you think! http://apps.facebook.com/thingbuzz
  68. camuflage at 4:40pm 11th December 2009 How about an aplication to search people by their age, genre, ethnic, name, nick, country, basically an advanced search that doesn't depends on who has that tool but rather on the database!
    I have an account with 0 friends and until now, i couldn't get a friend there, is really face book a social network? Yes as long as you have friends! pff
  69. Ian Bell at 10:05am 11th December 2009 Farmville seems like a scam to me.
    1. Edward at 4:12pm 19th August 2010 it is...
