Facebook Applications have been the latest craze on the Internet due to the amount of potential these apps have. Facebook has taken social media to the next level and set the bar very high. MySpace is trying to catch up, but that’s neither here nor there.

Google has been very slow to create their own Facebook Application, but the time has finally come. Google has presented the Google News Facebook Application.

Google News Facebook Application

This is one Facebook application I will be blocking. Facebook is the only place I can really be who I am and keep the prying eyes of Google shunned away. Don’t get me wrong, I think Google is great — I author a site that is completely dedicated to Google — but there are some things I want to keep to myself, Facebook is one of them.

Whenever you add a Facebook Application to your site, you freely give away all of your personal details. I’m becoming more and more concerned with this policy on Facebook and it is making me more selective on which apps I actually allow to access my profile. Google isn’t going to win my heart on this one.

Current Facebook Applications Available: 6304
