Hot Facebook Applications - Part 2

The first part of our Facebook applications series allows you to edit photos and skype. This second part introduces more fun applications that let you indulge in music, fashion, videos and art.

 

If They Mated

ADMIT it: You have always been curious to see how the love child of two of your friends would look like.
Wonder no further. Just upload pictures of your friends onto this application and it will churn out images of how their spawn could look like.

 

Music Mixes

MOST of us can probably remember sitting in front of our cassette players after school, recording Bananarama or Culture Club tracks onto cassette tapes.

Now you can relive your childhood with the Music Mixes application, which lets you create your own virtual mixtapes by adding tracks and sending them to your friends.

What's more, you can personalise your mixtape by adding in your own voice introduction at the start of the tape.

 

Blog TV

EGOMANIACS and narcissists take note - this application lets you indulge in self-absorbed glory.

By simply downloading this application onto your Facebook profile page, you can stream live webcam footage of yourself to anyone who visits your Facebook profile.

Everything - from your cutesy poses to you picking that strand of spinach from your teeth - will be broadcast to the whole world. Your two minutes of fame...or infamy.

 

Polyvore

FASHIONISTAS will adore the Polyvore application. It lets you create your own runway outfits using threads and accessories from brands like Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Topshop.

With thousands of outfits updated almost every day, you'll be guaranteed a visual fash fest every time you log on.

 

Art

BUDDING artists or nose-in-the-air art gurus should like this one. It lets you put posh artworks on your profile to give your friends a visual fest (or just to show them how cultured you are).

From Van Gogh and Michelangelo to Warhol, the Art application has more than 160,000 works of art for you to feast your eyes on.
