Cool Facebook Applications

These apps are the most popular ones. But others are useful, innovative and praiseworthy. Whether you’re a Facebook veteran or newbie, you should find something worth adding. And it's important to keep your profile manageable, not least because there's always some cool new apps to add.

1. Sketch Me. Genuinely awesome app that takes a photo of you, and turns it into a faux pencil sketch, for that arty look. Get it

2. Send SMS. This neat app puts a box on your profile allowing friends to send you text messages for free (they have ads attached, mind). Get it

3. What I’m Listening To. Excellent application that updates live to show anyone viewing your profile what song you’re listening to RIGHT NOW in iTunes, Winamp or other music players. Get it

4. Simpsons Avatar Creator (pictured). There's already a website letting you turn yourself into a Simpson’s character, but now there's an unofficial Facebook application too. It's already got more than 83,000 users too. You’d look great in a natty shade of yellow. Get it

5. Photo Mosaic. Create nifty mosaics from your Facebook photo stash. It’s what the Romans would’ve done (if they’d had the internet). It's quite an arty collection of applications this week. This one lets you turn your Facebook photos into mosaics, for your friends to admire. Get it

6. Nike+ Runs. If you use the Nike+ iPod software, this app lets you publish details of your recent runs on your Facebook profile. No more pretending you slogged through an 18 mile hike when in fact you got tired by the corner shop and sloped home with a packet of cigarettes instead. Get it

7. Compare People. Decide who the best dancer, the cutest, is and the smartest friend. Oh, and the one who has most time to spend making comparisons on internet websites, obviously. Get it
