That's one of a few apps that I find off-putting, though it doesn't irk me as much as the one that claims to know which of my friends has a crush on me and puts a pop-up over the 'Send' button for other functions.

I'm irritated that Scrabulous has been shut down in the US and Canada, and haven't started playing again with just my Australian friends, though I probably will.

But like you, I've found Facebook useful for re-establishing contact with old friends, so I keep my account open for that reason.
