I took the time this evening to write a little guide on how to make Facebook less annoying (see my profile). Don’t get me wrong — I love Facebook, but there were some things I had to do to make it usable. This is for those of you who don’t like all the stupid little apps that clutter up your request page and the profiles of so many people out there.

There are four little Facebook tips that I like to share with folks in need:

Disable Beacon
When your friends send you application requests, block first, then ignore
Use IgnoreAll to batch-ignore application requests
Minimize all irrelevant applications on profile pages
Details follow.

1. Disable Beacon

Beacon, one of Facebook’s information-harvesting features, collects information about you as you take actions on third-party websites. You should turn this off immediately.

Steps to disable Facebook Beacon:

Log into Facebook
click on privacy in the upper-right hand corner
click on External Websites
Check the checkbox next to “Don’t allow any websites to send stories to my profile.”
If there are any third-party websites in the list, select “Never” for each
Click on the Save button
2. Block annoying applications immediately

I’ve seen too many of my friends login to Facebook, go to their pending requests, and then click “Ignore” for each request. You want to block each of these applications permanently the first time you see a request. Blocked applications still show up on your friends’ profiles, but cannot access any information about you. This means that those applications will no longer be able to send you annoying requests to join. Here’s my current list of blocked applications:

Go to the app's profile page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/MiniPlanet...076?ref=ts

Then, click the button in the upper right corner of the page (next to the Go to App button) and select Block App from drop-down menu. Then, click "Okay."

App is now blocked.
