Mac Lover: Bringing Mac love to your Facebook Profile
If you're on Facebook, you're likely aware of the plentiful Apple-related groups you can join (as if discussions in the comments here at TUAW and other sites weren't enough). Of course, there's more recently been the ability to add 'Applications' to your Facebook Profile, and that's where Mac Lover comes in. File it under 'wacky' or 'for the fanboys' if you will, Mac Lover (Facebook login & account required) allows you to show your geek pride and show off your Apple kit collection directly within your Facebook profile - and allows you to organize it with Apple style too.Featuring some slick and snazzy Apple-esque effects, you simply build up an iWant and iHave list and then save it to add it to your Profile. There's also a forthcoming feature to 'Give your friend a Mac' (and offer contacts an electronic 'glass of ice water to people in hell' if you will) to send your friends the iMac you've always wanted to give them, if not been able to afford. Whilst there's a good selection of Apple products to add (including Newtons, Software, Peripherals and truly old-skool Macs) the latest iPods are sadly missing in action for now.

And as far as the "slick and snazzy Apple-esque effects" are concerned, they use "glossy" tabs and the icons float in when first loaded. I'm not sure I'd necessarily call those "Apple-esque." Plus they could have built Aqua scroll bars, but instead created square bars with a blue gradient.
Don't get me wrong, it's fun and all, I'm just a little disappointed. (Especially with everything that's not working.)
No thanks. I don't need anyone browsing my profile while planning what they're going to mug me for.
