I'm not going to be the one that says MySpace is in a losing battle, but I do believe that MySpace has taken a turn for the worst. Fortunately, I will give credit to MySpace for the inspiration of this article's title.

Facebook is revolutionizing social networking. The creation of the Facebook platform has propelled Facebook to the prime-time of social networking websites. The greatness that is Facebook has inspired me to create the Tech In Demand Top 8 Facebook Applications. I am sorry Tom, you could not make the cut.

#8 Where I've Been

Where I've Been isn't so much about interactivity, but more about displaying information with ease. It gives you a very nice map that allows you to specify where you have been, where you want to go, and where you have lived. All this is easily accomplished as your friend only needs to take a quick glance at your map to get all this information. It was one of the first applications I installed and have had it installed ever since.

#7 Socialistics

Socialistics is a new Facebook application that allows you to view statistics about you and your friends. Bar-charts and pie-charts quickly give you access to all this information. You can compare ages, locations, wall posts, and much more. You can also view information in tag clouds as well. There are many features to come soon, and a future review here at Tech In Demand is in store.

#6 Countdown Calendar

Countdown Calendar is great for those of you who wish to utilize Facebook as a productivity tool. This app allows you to create countdowns for any future events. You can customize the way they appear on your profile, and if you activate any countdowns on your profile, they will present you with a live countdown to the second. You can also share and find others who have created countdowns.

#5 Graffiti

Graffiti is a great application for those who are feeling artsy. It allows you to send and receive images that the users create within Grafitti. The tools available are not even closely related to Photoshop, but a person with a creative mind can make some very impressive works of art even with the simplistic tools available.

#4 Flog Blog

Flog Blog is a great application for bloggers everywhere. It allows you to update people who view your Facebook profile on the current writings that appear on your blog. There are many options available, and you can select which posts make it on your profile. The application also supports automated pinging, so if your blog supports this feature, then your Flog will be updated instantly.

#3 Flixster

Flixster is your one stop shop for all things movie related. With this Facebook app, you can easily review movies. It doesn't stop there though: marking movies you want to see in the future, comparing movie tastes with friends, viewing profiles for movies, and the ability to take movie quizzes to test your knowledge are just some of the things you can do with Flixster. Movie fanatics will love this.

#2 Compare People

Compare People performs a simple function: comparing two people at a time. It does this by asking you questions about one person against another, and only one of those people will win. You can also skip any of the questions. The great thing about this application is that in many cases, all the answers you receive are anonymous, or can be made that way, which leads to honest opinions about yourself. You are ranked amongst all your friends and can see where you stack up.

#1 Scrabulous

Scrabulous is by far the most addictive application on Facebook I have seen yet. It has even revitalized my interest in the old Scrabble board game. The application keeps track of your statistics for the games you have played, and you can play with up to three other people. Games can usually last from a few hours to a few days depending on the activity of all the players participating.

That wraps up my top 8 Facebook applications. I know there are many more great Facebook applications out there. So if you have one that you really enjoy that isn't on this list, why not post a comment and let everyone know about it! If you enjoyed this article, please subscribe to the RSS Feed.
