Top Ten Face Book Application

Top Ten Applications on my facebook:

Friend Feed

This is probbly my best application out of the lot because it has the feature of content sharing between multiple websites. i.e. what you create in Frined Fedd application can be viewd on my Facebook news feed and other Facebook news feed activity.

Fantasy Football

I will rank this application as second as I am a very big footy fan and like to challenge my friends. The main feature I like about this application is that you can create your own dream team of Premiership footballers and share a bit of banter with your freinds.

Market place

Market place is a fantastic application which allows you to browse the market on facebook. I like this application as it is a very versatile and convenient and intuitive interface, which allows you to browse for items/products on sale, list your own items, job hunting, look for accommodation etc.

Premier Football

This application is very similar to Fantasy Football. The only difference is that you pick your best eleven from the friends list and not premiership footballers. I like this application because you have to challenge with your friends to see who can come up with the best team.

Liverpool fans

Being a Liverpool fan I enjoy this application as it keeps me up-to-date with Liverpool football clubs latest news, scores, fixtures, English Premiership league position and provides a discussion board so I can share personal opinions with other club supporters.

Mind Jolt games

I like this application as it cheers me up when I am feeling very low or when I am bored out of my brains. This application allows me to play over hundreds of online game, which I can challenge my friends or play myself.

Speed racing

Since I am a very passionate fan about cars, I like this application as you can choose from a variety of speed racing cars and mod your car to get more horsepower. You have a limited ampount of budgest so you have spend very wisely. Then race your friends and see who wins.


Pool

I enjoy playing this application, as it brings the best out of me. This application is extremely addictive. I also like the fact that it allows you to challenge your friends and also other members from facebook. Once you’re on it you’re hooked on it.


Birthday Alerts

If you know me, I am inclined to forget things, especially when it comes to birthdays. This is why I like this application, as it alerts me on my wall the upcoming birthdays on my wall and this way will never miss my friend’s birthdays.

Compare people

I like this application becuasr it allows people to find out who stands where in various categories: cutest, sexiest, and smartest and many more. Most importantly, find out where you fit in

Evaluating two applications:

I am going to choose the following applications to carry out a more detailed evaluation:

Friend Feed
Market place

I personally believe that in order to make a good facebook application, it must have the capability to bring users back to canvas pages on a regular basis to create some sort of engagement. The application should also have the ability to make the usability very convenient in terms of its efficiency, content sharing, connections between different users and most definitely provide entertainment as an end product.

I have not yet seen an application that meets most if not all of the criterias mentioned above; however, my favorite is the FriendFeed application. The reason for this is that it collates my activities from other websites/services and displays it in my Facebook news feed; along with all of the other Facebook news feed activity. The main reason for putting this application above all of the rest of the application is because it helps me represent myself on facebook aswell as on the FreindFeed application. On the whole, this application enables a user to show more about themselves and their individuality.

Another application that comes close to FreindFeed is Market place where connections between different users is a major feature of the application, as people for browse for items/products that are on sale, list your own items, job hunting, look for accommodation etc. This application works very similarly to e-bay shopping. I believe this application will be a big hit, if not already. Market Place is an ideal application to have been launched on face book as thousands of new and existing users are always looking to buy products/services.
