The Various Waves of Facebook Apps

Since the launch of the new Facebook platform a month ago, thousands of new applications have popped up. The majority of these applications have been extremely simple applications that will provide a short period of entertainment value. This is like when the internet first came about. Back when Geocities was popular I remember people (myself included) used to go grab random widgets from around the web such as small slot machines, blinking lights, page counters and all sorts of items that made your page look “cool.”
