As the title says... for those who have succumbed to the procrastination-incarnate abomination which is FaceBook, post your favourite apps here. Preferably with descriptions.
Time killers
http://apps.facebook.com/biggestbrain/
Kinda like "Brain Training" from the Nintendo DS but in a simpler 'quick-fix' format. Four simple tests which gradually increase in difficulty and spit out an arbitrary score at the end of it.
http://apps.facebook.com/texas_holdem/
Texas Hold 'Em - the poker variant which finally made the average person realise there's more to poker than 5 Card Draw. It's not all that different from playing on something like PartyPoker but a few little touches like having your FaceBook picture in the playing area and having a means of direct comparison against the performance of your friends make it more fun than most.

If you enjoy doing those word scramble puzzles in the newspaper each day you'll probably enjoy this. It's basically a combination of two popular forms of word scramble games which keeps track of your best scores - and those of your friends.
http://apps.facebook.com/pirates/
Sail the seven seas in search of booty so you can load up with bombs and cannons to destroy enemy (and friend) vessels. It's very basic point-and-click fare on offer but it's still inexplicably addictive.
http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/
This has a range of functionality but the only thing I really pay any attention to is the music quiz where you're given a brief snippet of music and have to answer questions about it. Simple, occasionally frustrating (mostly due to the amount of shit music it covers but it's occasionally metal-friends) but addictive.
Informative Apps
http://apps.facebook.com/facebookshelf/
For those of us who still read actual books, this lets you add a list of books you own or have read, and recommends other books you might enjoy based on a communal rating and review system.
http://apps.facebook.com/visualcdrack/
In a similar vein, this does for music what the aforementioned app does for books. Catalogue your CD collection, receive communally-harvested recommendations for new music, compile a 'wish list' and so forth.
http://apps.facebook.com/listening/
What I'm Listening To - integrates your Last.fm charts into your FaceBook profile.
PS- A place for Transcending Mortality fans to gather and spread the word to other FaceBook denizens
PPS- a slow, painful death to all the fuckers who keep sending "blah blah blah Quiz" invitations
