facebook app clutter

Julie Zhou from facebook has made the announcement that they will be offering a profile cleanup tool, that will help devoid Facebook of the clutter from all the random useless apps that sorority girls and guys, litter their profiles with.

This announcement was probably obvious to everyone, but it’s a nice coincidence for me since I just did the 15 questions from a facebook early user where I asked for this exact feature, well, almost exact. Take a look below from Facebook’s release and my post.

Facebook’s

The “profile clean-up” tool is compared to how a “computer’s desktop will remind you to get rid of unused icons” (note here, Facebook is comparing themselves to Windows) that will allow users to move profile boxes to an “extended portion” of their profile.

What do you think of the Facebook user interface? The biggest feature they should add is the ability for me to view people’s pages without the annoying widgets or whatever you call them.
