From the better late than never category comes my take on Facebook apps.
The idea was genius. The implementation is pretty damn good. Most of the apps suck. A few of them like Scrabulous are absolutely rockstars. They can provide companies with a ton of traffic. I think I recall seeing Iamfreetonight.com, a somewhat bootleg ad-driven online personals site owned by the folks behind 2 of the most irritating but genius apps on Facebook, either in an blog article or on Alexa’s Movers and Shakers index a week ago. I also happen to know that successful Facebook apps can take a surprising amount of bandwidth.
My personal favorite involves a battle that has around since the beginning of time: Pirates vs. Ninjas. Pirates don’t stand a chance against Ninjas in a fight, but I’ll concede that they probably have more fun if getting drunk, not bathing, and having scurvy is fun.
