Review:

This application is almost beyond words to describe. What it does is calculate your overall Facebook usage and determine from that how
“cool” you are. It looks at how many gifts you receive, how many events you get invited to, and how much your walls are written on amongst a compendium of other
factors. In my mind, this is the most unreal application of an application that has ever been conceived in all the cyber-world.

Through the rigorous analysis of the preceding ten applets in this review, a few commonalities have come to light. Namely, that the majority of
Facebook applications are nothing more than mindless activities meant to increase the amount of time you spend on the site, and henceforth subjected to the advertising. Sure, we
can probably accrue some marginal amount of joy from the few bright spots found throughout the myriad of dogshit that is the world of Facebook applications, but unless you are
so bereft of responsibility that you are able and willing to spend the majority of your time staring blankly at your own profile, these are of little comfort.

I don't want to come off the wrong way here; I like Facebook. It's a nice diversion from the cruel reality of well, reality, and I find it far
superior to Friendster or even MySpace in its ability to root out spam, and create an organized and uniform manner in which to display personal information. But when we create a
system which provides an outlet for listlessness, and then in turn rewards that same complacency, we have crossed the line from interaction to inaction. And that is simply
inexcusable.

Grade: F

If you even think about having this application installed on your Facebook you deserve to die. Painfully.
