| Depending on interest, I may develop a Facebook application so your friends on Facebook can see what you're watching/reading. If you think you would use something like this, let us know! If there's not enough interest, we'll think of something else to develop. Update: App is working! http://apps.facebook.com/myanimelist/ |

| Since the overrun of Facebook applications, I've really stayed far away from Facebook. It started off as a way to find people I used to go to school with... and turned into something quite different. The off time I do log into it, I have like 65 application requests -.- So, personally, I wouldn't use it. I'd prefer time and effort went into this site rather than Facebook :) |
| No interest in using a Facebook application, because I'm not on Facebook. :D But if I want to know what my buddies are watching, I'll visit their profiles, or I'll see it in their forum sigs, or I'll see it in My Panel. Wow, already 3 different ways to stalk on MAL! (oO) |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |

| I wouldn't mind it. Facebook is fine, as long as you're aware of what you're actually giving them. |
 |
| I want all my non anime watching friends to know what I am watching! (yes, I would like one) |
     |
| i only recently began a facebook account and only because one of my ol' high school buddies is on there instead of myspace. i still don't understand all the crap on facebook, much less how to use apps..plus i don't even go onto facebook unless to exchange messages with my friend. MAL definitely has a sense of privacy |
  |
| In general I'm pretty anti-Facebook-application, but if there was a MAL one, I'd support it. |
     |
| I say that it's a waste of time. I wouldn't use it even if I did have a facebook account. But whatever. |
 |
| I don't use Facebook. I think there are better things that could be developed, things for this site. |
| I don't like facebook at all, got an account to see a friend's pictures but that's it. |
| It's not a bad idea- although, please,please, PLEASE don't stick that horrible "tell 20 friends" spam rubbish that most FB apps seem to have. |

| I wouldn't get one.. waste of time. |
     |
| I use facebook, but i have to agree with it having a surplus amount of applications. It would be a nice idea to show all your friends what you're watching and all, but there is just be kind of a wasted effort if not too many people use it and/or have too many applications already. |
| I have a Facebook account, but I never use it. I voted no, just because I think it'd be a waste of effort to do anything related to that crappy site (of course, I am a hater of all social networking sites) |
     |
| I would much prefer a MAL API over a facebook app :-) |
     |
| lol seems at some point Facebook became the uncool thing like MySpace |
| Facebook was fun for five minutes, but now i only use it for keeping in contact with old school friends, so I wouldn't really use the application. Cool of you to consider doing it though. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| I would use it if I had a facebook profile. |
| I have a facebook but just to keep in contact with my close friends. I got sick of facebook and myspace, they all sound the same to me, i guess. |
 The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. |
| No, I would not use it and I have very little interest in Facebook. |
| . |
| no. |
    |
| I wouldn't use it. Facebook is merely for keeping up with friends. I don't really think they would care about what I read/watch. |
     |
| I don't have a facebook account, nor am I inteding to make one so I wouldn't use it. However, despite the general consencus of this thread and the no's or dont have's in the poll, I believe there will be a lot of users using it. So I think its a worthwhile idea. |

| I do use Facebook, but I wouldn't use a MAL application. Nothing against MAL, or having an application on Facebook of course. It's just, MAL is like my sacred place to go to get away from certain friends of mine, who I know would troll me like crazy if they found out about this place. Lol, I'm trying to enjoy the peace and quiet on here, for as long as it can possibly last. So no, I wouldn't use the application. Besides, though it's a neat idea, there are WAY too many apps on Facebook anyways >___< |
  |
| I wouldn't use it even if I had an account (and not going to open one) |
     |
| Although I haven't signed on Facebook in a long time and still only use the original old Apps, I wouldn't mind one for MAL. I'd stick it on there. My website link on my profile goes here anyway. |
| Actually, come to think about it I don't really see the point. This site already has all the functionality I need and everyone who'd be interested can just view my profile here anyway. Linking from facebook would just be redundant, especially since I don't use it much anyway. |
| I said yes though you haven't said what features you would put into it. I would mostly like a fairly simple one that showed the last X updates to my list and then linked back to my mal profile. Maybe it could also show the stats from the profile page (# watching, # completed, etc). I would imagine that would not be too difficult to do. If it was something that ended up taking more than perhaps a weekends worth of work, then I would probably rather you spend the time working on MAL itself since it's not worth it to put too much time into a facebook app. Though I suppose a facebook app could also direct some new people to this site. |

I block every application request i get, but even though i have already blocked over 150 applications, i still get new request from different ones every single day... MAL is sooo much better!!! |

| I want to show my pride as an otaku to my non-otaku friends. Corruption may begin...muahahaha!!! |
 |
| I had to block facebook in school :D. It was overused. On another note, 58 is a considerable number. In my opinion they should not be turned down and feel left out, just because I or 94 and 32 others do not need it. But thats for xinil to decide. May be, as Overfiend suggested, MAL should have an API. That way anyone can create interfaces to MAL regardless of what they want to use, livejournal, facebook, igoogle or even their own CMS. |
| On considering an API, that might be an even better thing to spend time on instead of a facebook applet. If you wrote an API, then someone else could potentially write the MAL facebook applet which would save you work. |

| I'd add it because I have a facebook, but I go on it maybe once a week so it wouldn't be put to much use. |
     |
| Actually I already have set up recent anime updates through a RSS feed application. :P |
| Yes, yes. this would be awesome. I think it is worth the effort. I support it. |
 |
| Why ruin a good thing? To hell with facebook. |
 "Anime brings people together, no matter your age, race, gender, religion, or philosophy as long as you like anime you've got something in common with People all over the world" |
| No Facebook acct, but I probably wouldn't use it anyway if i had one.. because I fail to see the point with all the stuff that's already available. |

Requal said: " Here, have a look at this evidence of me having no life " Yeah, the Facebook idea isn't a bad one, it's just that none of my friends on said website would care what I was reading/watching. It'd just be a copy of this site. |
 Such is life... |
| I would use it |
     |
| I'd love to have a facebook application for MAL. That'd be great =] |
 |
| Undecided. I have a Facebook account but rarely go on or do anything with it. If there was an application made maybe I would try and use it, but maybe something else worked on would be better? Edit: more yes' on poll than I expected so maybe I should strike the last thing I said...not sure. |
| I'll definately use it on my facebook profile, but you won't find me hanging around too much to even message me on facebook; MAL is my home for quite a while! |
