Are Facebook apps for 'rug rats'?


Kara Swisher of the Wall Street Journal's Boom Town blog has offered up the observation that most Facebook apps are inane. She got a lot of pushback from commenters, which she sums up in this post, as well as linking to two other posts about the apps. And she's pleasantly surprised that blogger Robert Scoble agrees.

What about you? Do you use Facebook apps because they are useful or because you find them fun or help you collect more friends? Do you care whether they are useful? What about Kara's assertion: Silly Facebook, your apps are for kids!
