Will everyone who hates social networks please raise ur hands???Granted, they can be an excellent way to connect with people you never would have connected to offline. They can also be great for companies that want to connect with their customers to get real, instant feedback -- which is invaluable. For my personal life however, I haven’t found social networks to be essential,since they are completely separate from my normal Web experience. Nowadays in every social network sites, they are launching number of applications. Basically, the social network is allowing anyone with the right knowledge to create a program for it.Also, many users blame programs they don’t like on the site rather than the developers..... My question to you is what type of application do you want to see created on the site......??##??##??

yes friend.....its good in some limit...but think when there will be overload of same application performing same functions....but with different names made by different users....it will just crowd the site when we search for a particular application...... thats the problem in handing out this right[power] to all users to create an application and upload it to website...anytime......!!!!

I certainly don't hate social sites. I don''t think that much about them. I do not use them. I would rather meet people in person. I do not mind meeting people from different parts of the world, I can do that here. In my life, and work, I have no need for them.

sorry to say friend but i am talking about the right that is given to all users of social sites.....to upload their applications on the sites. According to me ...the site should give this right to some well known companies...which can launch better applications......which will be without bugs and will be very user friendly.....
