Ugh - just as fast and hot as the love affair started, it is starting to fizzle. Facebook opened its doors to add-on apps, and while we just can't wait to be invited to become a zombie, pirate, or post on YAFW (yet another Facebook wall), enough is enough already. If you're feeling Facebook App Overload (we're thinking of copyrighting that term... no, not really), then you need the Facebook Profile Cleaner Greasemonkey script.

This is a profile cleaner, but it doesn't get rid of the mini-feed and it also gets rid of those app icons under the profile picture. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11992
