Facebook: Official Applications Hiding Tool Coming Soon

This is good news for some people and really bad news for others. Facebook have listened to the complains and announced that they will be releasing a new service which will allow hiding applications on your profile.

As a user I am happy that there will be an official facebook profile cleanup tool, where you will be able to reduce the clutter of your profile. Just choose your favorite applications and hide the others, clicking on “Show Extended Profile” will show the other Applications on the profile.

As I said this is a Good/Bad news, its specially bad news for the Application developers, as we all know the apps mostly gets more users and become more known after it is spotted on friends profiles, so this will make developing facebook applications harder and  more competitive.

And it might also be bad news for users who are always looking for new cool applications, maybe now they will be more interested in reading blogs that review facebook applications. One thing am sure about though is that most users will be very grateful for this new service from facebook.
