Social networking giant Facebook recently opened up its service to accept custom-made applications, and its users have responded with a bevy of tools.
(Are you on Facebook? Add me as your friend.)
While most of the applications have focused on customizing your profile, 86 "money" tools have been created.
A number of them keep track of the money you owe your friends and what they owe you, while others focus on budgeting and sharing your spending.
Here are some of the more popular and useful Facebook financial apps, with their descriptions.
