I'm sick of being spammed by my 'friend's' requests. It's quite annoying, and I want a way to "Block All Application Requests." That'd be swell. Right now I only use three third-party applications: What I'm Listening To - Scrapes Last.fm info. Digg - Scrapes digg.com. Connection Cloud - Interesting display of networking. I've gone to profiles where there are literally (really) an excess of 30 applications. It's quite a long scroll down to the wall, I tell you. 95% or more of the Facebook apps are pure garbage, and I cannot stand them. I’m sick of being spammed by my ‘friend’s’ requests.

I did at first join everything that came down, including Zombies, but now I just don't have the time or patience to keep up with it all. Actually, this whole world of Web 2.0, New Media, and Social Networking is getting a bit much to handle. I need to scale back a bit. Last time I checked there were still only 24 hours in the day.

Who has time? I also don't like the idea that in order to even find out what an app IS, I have to install it. Nope. I do like FB, but I am not willing to spend the time on its purely social aspects.
