The Facebook App Center only launched this past June and recently (finally) introduced a search function, but it remains Facebook’s attempt at distributing the work of its Open Graph and associated developers. While it’s meager in comparison to the likes of the iOS App Store and Google Play Marketplace, the App Center is starting to grow in numbers and quality, and we scoured what’s currently available to find the best and brightest of what the virtual shelves have to offer.

Utilities
Facebook already keeps track of birthdays, but by the time you receive an alert, it’s usually too late for anything but the obligatory “Happy Birthday!” wall post. Birthday Calendar compiles all your friends’ birthdays into a convenient calendar so you can plan ahead and commission that marble bust you’ve been planning.
My BandMySpace is king for promoting bands. But if you’re trying to get your music out there, My Band makes Facebook a much more viable platform. It allows you to add a mini band profile, including bio, pictures, tour dates and (of course) music to your profile.
Up until Pipe, sending files over 1GB was impossible through Facebook, but now you can send large files like movies, lossless audio files, and raw images with ease. Just drag and drop the file and it pops up on your friend’s computer.
When you don’t think your favorite movies, music and activities quite say enough about you, dig your profile a little deeper with Extended Info. It allows you to great fields for just about any list you can think of, from currently reading (the most popular custom field) to languages spoken, favorite foods, or just things you hate.
If you’re just as frustrated with Fedex’s online shipping forms as we are, Fedex’s “Ship to Friends” Facebook app should save you the hassle. The app is solely a shipping form, but the instructions are clear and you don’t need to sign up for a Fedex account. It also displays the cost of the shipment per your package’s weight. The app though only services domestic (U.S.A) shipments.
There is an app that allows you to see who visits your profile the most, where can I find it and how do I keep it so I can access it through my iPhone ??
Hmmmmmm

Tried another app builder @corporatecentral (dot) com. It is graphic, allows for complex apps and integrates with facebook so your friends can use it. What I really liked is that one app runs on all mobile devices and web browsers and no code.

My favourite Facebook app is Giftorama (http://apps.facebook.com/giftorama). I can send friends some pretty cool looking gifts and most are free – and it doesn't require any dodgy sign-up process!!!

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/

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…

hi iam a citizen of nepal . i want more applications for facebook. plz sent me these applications.
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?
Interesting blog post.
Thanks for sharing this.

The “Where I've Been” is the greatest application far from any other.
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

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/

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.

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.
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?http://apps.facebook.com/battlepics/
What about this one?A great application that you can use to download your tagged pictures:http://www.mytaggedfacebookpictures.com/Have fun

oops just click on my name above to play!
please check out my new app its a rpg adventure game, would love constructive criticism!
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.
Was it difficult for you? What type of traffic do you get to your servers from it?
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.
Coolio, what's it called?

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
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
Farmville seems like a scam to me.
