			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a lot of friends gushing over popular social networking site <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> but I can&#8217;t for the life of me figure out what&#8217;s so great about it. It&#8217;s cluttered, difficult to navigate and then, there are the applications. I&#8217;ve written about my dislike of <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/17/facebook-login/">Facebook</a> apps earlier and was looking for a way to stop receiving invites for them.</p>
<p>Well, my prayers have been answered somewhat. I can&#8217;t stop receiving invites but I can block them so I don&#8217;t have ten friends sending me invitations for the same app over and over again. To do this, head over the &#8216;Requests&#8217; page on your Facebook profile. There, you&#8217;ll see a list of all the invitations you received. Under the &#8216;Accept&#8217; and &#8216;Ignore&#8217; buttons is a small option that says &#8216;<strong>Block this application</strong>&#8216;. Click on it and you&#8217;re done.</p>
<p><span id="more-4140"></span></p>
<p>Considering the sheer number of invitations I&#8217;ve received, It will take me forever to block them all. I think a better option is to ignore all invitations from friends who keep sending you rubbish. This way, you cut it off at the source.</p>
<p>Has the Facebook application madness driven you crazy yet? What&#8217;s your strategy on dealing with them? Does it want to make you abandon Facebook altogether? Let me know in the comments.</p>
