Own/buy your friends...

On a completely different note, am I the only one who finds Facebook applications like Own Your Friends/Buy Your Friends, kind of skin crawlingly offensive?

I'm not for sale, I am not owned. What there is of me, my friendship, love, and affection, is given freely, as it should be.

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.

The only app I use these days is Little Green Patch
