Download these apps
Folks on Facebook have become application-happy over the last several months, festooning their pages with more software bells and whistles than a reindeer-and-referee convention. While many of them are disposable, these three applications are worthy of your profile's valuable real estate:

iLike: This Facebook-friendly app allows you to select your favorite songs from iLike's massive library, post them on your own profile and dedicate them to your friends. By playing its included music trivia game, you have a chance to win free music.

Where I've Been: Asking you to list the states, provinces and countries you've visited, lived in and wanted to go, this application then generates a world map, color-coded according to your answers. With Where I've Been, you can keep track of your friends' travels, as well as get a visual image of where you have been, yourself.

Mob Wars: Recruit your friends into your own "mob" and vie to be the mafia boss of Facebook. Millions of hardcore gamers and bored office-workers alike join ranks to hustle, steal and kill in their struggle to get to the top. As our friends who use it have said it's quite addictive, and as we have work to do, we haven't taken the plunge quite yet.
