Every few weeks or so, I’ll sit down and browse Facebook applications. I’ll add them, test them, and then either keep them or remove them based on how useful, fun, or unnecessary they may be to my profile page.

It’s kind of pointless what I do, but I do it to kill time (mostly on rainy days such as this).

Today, I came across this Facebook application called Friend Wheel. It’s nothing more than a visual representation of how you and all your friends are connected to each other. It shows you a wheel with names and then draws lines to and from you and/or your friends to let you know how all of you are connected.

Beyond that, it doesn’t really give you anything new, but I think it’s a nice addition to Facebook pages if the page isn’t already cluttered with horoscopes, fortune cookies, honest boxes, and other things. Give it a try. I think you might like it.

I like this app. :)
