I recently stumbled upon a fantastic Facebook application that is essentially a full-featured arcade that doesn’t take quarters! Of course, on Facebook, the dirty equivalent to a quarter is usually the requirement to spam friends with ads for the application, which is not required of the user here!
There are tons of games on the application […]
Holiday traffic is slow traffic for most blogs but there is an overall trend that’s beginning to appear. Facebook has been experiencing a slight decrease in buzz over the past month.

The toolbar is amazing, and has totally changed how Facebook impacts my life. It can be found at http://developers.facebook.com/toolbar.
