Facebook applications are hot right now. In fact, application short-names are going fast like domain names. You might be hard pressed to find a decent application name with the word “friend” in it!

I started tinkering with their Developers API yesterday and I whipped up my first Facebook application. It doesn’t do much but I think it spices up profiles pretty nicely!

I must commend Facebook on a great API. It is very easy to use and their FBML (Facebook Markup Language) is a great accomplishment as it keeps everything looking Facebooky — something Myspace definitely doesn’t have.

Anyway, the application is called Photogenic and it basically displays a random breathtaking/beautiful photograph on your profile. Photographs are taken from the a thousand and one site and are all rated at least 3/5 stars.

Click here to install the Photogenic Facebook application and help me test it out. I welcome any suggestions and comments!

Edit: If you get an error message while loading the page from application, it’s not my fault. Facebook is having a few hiccups right now (Aug 23, 11:45pm EST).
