Hot Facebook Applications - Part 1

Move over Superpoke! Loads of hot Facebook tools are raring to take its place. Here are five of them.

 

Dating DNA

YOU have fewer than 10 friends on Facebook, out of which five are your mother's Book Club members. Instead of sitting in a corner and moaning about your insipid social life, try Dating DNA.

The application should widen your social network by letting you chat with anyone on Facebook. Spy a cute brunette? Drop her a message or send some virtual flowers her way.

Single Facebook members will also dig this application - the site accesses your interests and personality and hooks you up with compatible singles.

 

FotoFlexer

FORGET running on the treadmill or lifting weights. With the FotoFlexer application, you can trim that beer belly or add some six packs without having to sweat it out in the gym.

This nifty photo-editing tool not only lets you add effects or change the brightness of your images, it also digitally enlarges your muscles and shrinks your waist at a button's click.

Great when you want to upload new images onto your Facebook photo album.

 

Honesty Box

ADD this to your profile page and your friends can leave anonymous messages that describe your personality - anything from "You're hot" to "You're a terrible dancer".

The best part is that the person leaving the note doesn't have to be signed in to Honesty Box. So you'll have absolutely no way of sussing out who wrote what.

Warning: Don't take it too hard if you find the box filled with descriptions like "downright ugly", "disgusting narcissist" or "the worst teammate ever".

 

Skype Me

FORGET painstakingly powering up Skype whenever you want to chat with your friends in other countries. Miss your spouse who's currently overseas? Simply click the Skype Me application on Facebook, dial the number you want and start yakking.

The application also tells you which of your friends are online using Skype, so you can start messaging them without having to open a new Skype window.

 

Guitar Hero Tracker

SO YOU'VE chalked up 8,900 points on Guitar Hero? Flaunt it in your friends' faces with the Guitar Hero Tracker.

This application not only lets you show off your Guitar Hero 2 scores on your profile page, but also lets you keep tabs on your friends' scores as well. Only gripe? It doesn't support scores for Guitar Hero 1.
