Looking for something to read? Look no farther than Facebook’s Profile Comics application, which lets you pick comics to show up on your profile as new ones are published. Currently you can choose from a list of 71 choices, including classics like Penny Arcade. No Bob the Angry Flower yet, but the boards have been requesting it so maybe that will be added soon.
A great option for writers is Slates, which lets you keep track of your documents: everything from resumes to poetry books to online newspapers. Better yet, it provides an easy way to share your work with your friends for critiques and feedback — no more printing out five copies of that 1,000-page novel to hand around.
What I’d really like to see for college-age readers is a Facebook front end to Project Gutenberg, the online database where you can access thousands of great books for free. When I was in college I used to write my English papers at work, and Gutenberg was great because I could look up quotations at my desk without pulling out a big obvious book. It would be nice to use a Facebook application to make the college crowd aware that this resource is available.
