As per my week-long plans I logged into Facebook over the weekend. Before I could accomplish rest of the plans by running into my favorite Facebook apps, I noticed a significant change in my right navbar displaying my opted applications’ list. The app I was looking for wasn’t there, I went on to display the full list of apps yet not found, even made an on-page search in IE but to no use. It was among my favorite Facebook applications and I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t there in my apps list. How could it be? A risk of possible account hack ran across my mind. I changed my credentials and went on to applications list to add that application again. I couldn’t find it even there, then, I chose to go to application by typing in direct URL as http://apps.facebook.com/*appname*/. Soon as I hit “enter” following message appeared:

 

FaceBook app

Never have thought of it as the one violating privacy policies, on contrary I was doubtful of couple of applications which have been adding significant to my email spam. I was disappointed of course but whatever being the reason we’d probably go with Facebook at that. Modern day social networking websites as Facebook are flooded of extensions and applications adding more value by introducing new features, introducing new ways for users to have fun and make best use of their time-waste activities.

Said application had got an interesting preposition of tagging users with keywords you’d think will fit on them. It was in a way similar to a famous activity on every other community on Orkut. That of “What do you think of the person below you”. It was a fun app as you could imagine however having fun at cost of privacy is not something everyone can afford. It was the first application whose removal I could witness and I am looking forward for few more apps getting removed from famous Social Network’s extension applications list.
