What are the best Facebook apps for teens? Here the Teen Advice list of 10 of the best applications for teens on Facebook. Give 'em a try and let us know what you think!
1. SocialCalendar
The folks behind SocialCalendar really understand what teens need and want in a Facebook application. This app helps you get organized with a calendar for birthdays, dates, holidays and other special events, plus it lets you share and plan these events with friends and family members. Plus, it's go
2. My Music
Have you ever wanted to share your entire iTunes library with your Facebook friends? Tagshine's My Music application lets you do just that, and shows them what songs you've listened to most recently and what playlists you've created.
This app also lets you watch music videos for more than 6 million songs and create a personal library of favorite artists.
3. Quizzes
The Quizzes app by Eric Diep and Joe Winterhalter brings hundreds of teen quizzes to your fingertips -- and your Facebook profile. You can write your own quizzes, too, and share the results of the quizzes you take with all of your Facebook friends.
4. Birthday Cards
The Birthday Cards application by RockYou! has tons of free features that help you stay in touch with friends and remember their birthdays. You can design custom greeting cards for any one of your friends on Facebook, or you can team up with your friends to design cards. The application sends you a reminder when a friend's birthday is coming up and lets you build a calendar of friends' birthdays and other special events such as parties and holiday events.
5. FriendBlock
FriendBlock, a Facebook app by Robby and Davy Campano, helps you build a giant photo collage with pictures of all of your Facebook friends. It's very easy to use, helps you keep tabs on friends, and looks super-cool on your profile.
6. Scramble
Everybody needs a break every now and then. Scramble's a great way to take one: This word game by Zynga sharpens your mind by challenging you to find words in a jumbled grid, sort of like the board game Boggle. You can invite your friends to play it with you online, too!
7. Animoto Videos
This fun Facebook app takes music and photos that you pick and makes a 30-second, MTV-style video with them. One of these videos, called your ":30 Spot" can be featured on your Facebook profile. No two videos you make will be exactly the same!
8. Sea Garden
There are several fun, free Facebook apps that raise money for environmental causes each time you use them to send a greeting to a friend. Sea Garden is one of them: With this app, you build a little reef of sea creatures and ocean plants and send goodies such as squid, fish and octopuses to your friends.
Each time you send a sea creature to a friend, the company that designed the app donates money to groups such as the Surfrider Foundation, a charity that works to protect oceans and beaches worldwide. You can check up on how much the application is donating to charity through another application called Causes.
9. Circle of Friends
Maybe your summer camp friends in Canada are distant cousins of your best friend from school. Perhaps your stepbrother is friends with your boyfriend's sister. Bantr's Circle of Friends app helps you find out how your friends are connected -- and may surprise you!
10. Advanced Wall
Take your Facebook wall to a new level with Advanced Wall by idleStudios. This nifty Facebook app lets you post images, videos and flash, as well as make art, write graffiti and monkey with the color and size of text using a simple editing feature.
