There are loads of such rubbish applications on Facebook but these 'create your own quiz' apps beats every other app hands down when it comes to non-nonsensicalness. Most of the time people take these quiz and often or almost always publish these results. My main page is filled with such clutters. For god's sake i am not interested in knowing how many children would you have, especially if you are a teenager killing time on Facebook. 99% of the quiz are so lame and the options are so crappy that a sensible person will feel like banging his head against the wall. But to my surprise many of the geeks and learned youngsters take these quiz just to kill time.
Companies like TCS and Infosys are churning out more quizzes than line of codes every week, thanks to the talented employee who loves his company and don't mind spending a few extra hours after the shift is over ;)
There is an add-on launched for tackling these annoying quizzes
GreaseMonkey.
This greasemonkey script removes all messages posted by applications to your homepage. It gets rid of messages about quizes etc, basically all messages from any applications created by external developers. Just leaving messages from the original facebook apps such as status updates, wall posts, links, notes, photos, etc behind
Steps:
1. You have to be a Firefox user in order to makes this thing work. If you are not, get it here.2. Install GreaseMonkey addon to your Firefox3. Click here to Install the Facebook Purity GreaseMonkey script
and a humble appeal, please do not publish the results of those quizzes unless they are remotely interesting to anyone except you.
