Social Networks

Social networks let you install application, they let you add your own templates and some basic features but is it good to make it?

There is no such fast progress in online application like the progress we see with social networks. Imagine that you can install games and play them with your friends. How does it feel to have your own template in your own profile and in some other people’s profile? It’s phenomenal.

With these applications of add ons you can call it whatever you like, you can add features that some people do not even know they exist?

Now what are the good and bad consequences of having all possible applications installed on your profile?

The good ones are the extra thing you can make. It very fun to play the Like Me application and the Mafia Wars game. Having an unique look in your profile is very cool as well.

The bad things are sometimes worse. First you will get hundreds of messages from your friends inviting you to do thins and that and most people have no time to check all the messages one by one. The second bad thing is the security, these application can get data from your profile such as photos and numbers, very bad. The third bad thing is the bugs these applications have. Sometimes the application will crash, sometimes you will not be even able to access your own profile.

Should you install these applications? My advice goes to install only the ones you cannot live without. It’s no fun to see your profile crashing all the time because of a third party piece of code. The social network says it’s nothing to do with them, so be careful.
