Its popularity quickly rocketed when it was launched for general public to share personal information online. Users found their friends and enjoyed the interactivity of this platform. Users joined networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people.Do you know!!!Facebook is world's most popular website, more than 123 million users use Facebook social networking and the top class applications on Facebook earn upto US $22,000 per day!Part of Facebook's success is its creators' decision to ‘open up' and allow anyone to develop applications and run them on Facebook. This has seen Facebook users able to play each other at Scrabble and Chess, compare each others' tastes and send ‘virtual gifts', among any number of new ideas vying for attention.Facebook has a number of features with which users may interact. People can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. They include the Wall, a space on every user's profile page that allows friends to post messages for the user to see, Pokes, which allows users to send a virtual "poke" to each other (a notification that tells a user that they have been poked), Photos, where users can upload albums and photos, and Status, which allows users to inform their friends of their whereabouts and actions.As social networking sites reached saturation, many people found themselves with multiple profiles, tons of friends and nothing new to do with them. That's where applications come in. Applications are fun, interactive tools designed for sharing and real-time play. Create quizzes like "How evil am I?" and compare answers with friends. Broadcast your up-to-the-minute moods with the Emote applications.
