Topic Proposal: Facebook Applications Cause Concern for Some Users

The implementation of applications into Facebook has widely increased the diversity of information and interaction attainable on the site.  While some users may jump at the chance to download every application imaginable, other users are annoyed at the seemingly endless requests to add bumper stickers, virtual pets, or the infamous “Hot or Not?” application to their profiles.  The fact that anyone can create an application also makes users uneasy to hit the install button.  They are concerned about the security of their information, knowing that it must be increasingly difficult for Facebook to monitor the actions of their so-called Platform Developers.
