Facebook users as a whole go through phases of what is cool and fun or interesting in the way of applications – – And if you are like me – you see something trending and feel the need to try it out – you remember Living Social lists, Lil Green Patch, Farkle, Word Challenge, PathWords, Send Beer, or maybe you still Farmville, Mafia Wars, Cafe World, Daily Horoscope … .
