My 200 Blocked Facebook Applications
I love Facebook. I know a lot of people who don’t. One obvious reason for this is that I LOVE connecting with people I knew long ago. I think it’s fascinating. Also, I love connecting people I know to other people I know. I’m a connection-gal. If you know me, you know that’s true. The OTHER reason I believe that I love Facebook much more than other people is my quick tendency to click BLOCK APPLICATION whenever I see a new invite for yet another application. My friend Patrick posted a list of all the applications he’s blocked. I did the same thing and was amazed to find that I have blocked 200 applications! Here they are:

If you want to do this and see how many applications you’ve blocked, here are the instructions:
Go to SETTINGS | PRIVACY SETTINGS | APPLICATIONS | SETTINGS. Scroll down to see all Blocked Applications. If your list is short, you probably hate Facebook, unless you have LOTS of free time and are wildly interested in silly games.

Interesting! Do you know what happens when you have an app blocked? I mean in terms of someone sending you an invitation to it. Do they get any kind of notification that you’ve blocked that app and their silly little request (to suck their lollipop, for instance) will not be received by the intended recipient? Just curious.
