I must admit to having spent way too much time on my iPhone lately squinting at fuzzy photos my friends have uploaded.

Friends of mine from 4th grade have added me recently and suddenly I'm up to at least 10 old pals (who honestly, I don't remember very well??) Having worked on apps myself I wonder how much the apps have really helped FB - especially now that most of them are relegated to hidden pages in the redesign.
