Application developers have a new piece of real estate to strive for on Facebook, which on Wednesday unveiled its new Application Directory that showcases apps that have passed through the social networking site’s verification process.

The idea behind the new directory is to provide Facebook users with a centralized place to sort through 52,000-plus apps that have been developed for the site over the past several years. If the channel catches on with users, it’s also likely to provide a powerful promotional launching pad for new apps.
