in Facebook Apps or Widgets, Which Are Better? on AllFacebook
Another key difference between Facebook apps and Widgets (especially OpenSocial Widgets) is that Facebook apps are currently largely focused on trivial and/or fun things, whereas the pool of Widgets is mostly (RSS) content aggregation plus some utility.

In my blog post at http://socialnetworking.activestate.com/2007/11..., I examine this difference a bit further.

I'm curious: why do so many of the popular Facebook apps focus on trivial pokes, food fights and vampires, while most widgets simply aggregate content?
