How to block a Facebook App?

Facebook has been playing a key role in modern world communication by connecting friends/people from different walks of life, by means of  status updates, photos, videos and Games. I have been using facebook for almost half a decade, I personally prefer facebook as information provider than as social gaming.

Over the time, I came across few Facebook Apps, I expected it to be as responsive as Facebook. But they are very slow, Under Powered, Bloated and doesn't Gel so nicely with facebook. There are tons of tons of FB Apps with the only objective as stalking, through Friends without much of their awareness.

So, Here is how to block a Facebook App?

  1. Go to Facebook ->> Privacy Settings,
  2. On "Privacy Settings" page, towards the end of the page, cliek "Manage Blocking"
  3. On the new "Manage Blocking" Page, Scroll down to the section "Block Apps" and Type the name of the App and press Enter.As a First Step,  Just Go ahead and Block the following FB Apps.
  • Social RSS
  • Texas HoldEm Poker
  • CityVille
  • Birthdays
  • Farmville
  • Fortune Cookie    -  Who cares if there's no Cookie?... :)
