There are plenty of ways to be distracted on the Internet. Facebook provides me little that I can’t get somewhere else. I also fail to see their business model.

You assume Facebook is a business tool or something. I think it’s more about connecting with people and engaging in mindless diversions with them. Sure, I get annoyed by all the invites, but that’s like complaining that “all tennis players do is hit a ball back and forth - i mean what’s the point!”. It’s entertainment! (barely)

I see no sense in Facebook at all. The discussion groups are barely updated and the people’s status messages are silly. So are the applications. I am quite disappointed.

Yes! I agree wholeheartedly.

Facebook has always been a great tool for keeping in touch with my disparate group of friends - many of whom have little or no access to IM. The site was a nice, quick and clean way of communicating using a series of (mostly) well thought out tools. However it’s becoming much, much more difficult to filter out the noise - each application a friend adds seems to pollute my ‘News Feed’ that little bit more.

Maybe it’s time to stand up to our friends and start removing those who have these applications?

Hello,

actually, I do not think there are really “usefull” app on facebook.
But here are some I use and that does not need any intervention from you on FB :
- del.icio.us in order to let people know what I am interested in
- jaiku
- stumbleupon

if you already use these websites, you do not need to spend more time on FB.
I also installed “where ‘ve been” app

Actually, there are so many app it is not easy to find which we have to use…

But something important : each time I add an app, I always skip the “invite people to use this app” step
