Seriously, nobody cares what books & movies you like. The least I could do was spare my friends all of that inane information. I never added it to my profile in the first place so I guess its a moot point. They are on the brink of eye gouging disaster with all of these apps though. I hope to God they hold out on letting users create their own HTML templates for their page. The first thing I did for my profile was turn off notifications for everything.

Now it's starting to look more like MySpace, and I'm staying away more and more as time passes. The first thought I had the day the iPhone SDK was announced was "thank god it's going to be more than just a ton of stupid Facebook apps."

I get requests about stupid crap all the time...from the same people. You get used to just clicking 'ignore' after a while PS: I'm 21 today! AND I made a Facebook Event about it too, come find me!
