Hi All
I'm really sad but found this app on facebook today and wondered if anyone else used it/wanted to:

Oh no, why are you sad ? Thanks for the facebook info. Here is another application that I enjoy, in fact, I made it . It was my first attempt to make a simple app through the gift creator. I am pretty proud of it. It's fully functional but not searchable in the directory yet. Anyone is free to check it out and see if it will allow you to add the app, I am pretty sure it will allow anyone. The more people that use it, the better. I will happily take suggestions for other birds to use and I can even use a favorite picture of your birds with your permission

Beautiful Birds | Facebook
Send pictures of beautiful birds to your friends

Just a quick sidenote, I am not able to accept any Facebook friends for the time being. I am still sorting things out and deleting some gaming friends that I don't know personally. I think someone may be messing with my profile. I will be happy to add anyone once I get it sorted out

Rio has a Bird Book!

Haven't made one for my new parrot Malibu yet though.

Apps are DO NOT WANT.


Ever since facebook had that whole watching-where-you-go-on-the-internet scandal I've not trusted their apps....but I have to admit the pet book thing is adorable. It'd probably be one of the only apps I'd accept. Thanks for sharing!

What are you talking about specifically? Everything you do on the internet can be monitored with minimal effort.

Are you talking about Beacon? Because that wasn't about apps at all, that was Facebook itself. But still, you're right... you should be very careful about what third-party apps you install (and what info you share with Facebook).

It can, but there are plenty of ways out there to prevent it.
Although I would not call what it takes to monitor what people are doing "minimal" effort.

Oh, it may have been beacon, which yes, was not so much an app. But same diff.

Basically, facebook had a program that was recording where people were going on the internet whether they were logged onto FB or not, and then selling this information to third party sponsors without even so much as notifying its users. Huge outcry. They got rid of it.

They also automatically allow for your name and images to be used in adds for apps to your friends--you can disable that though.
