Very important, please follow:

Facebook just announced at their f8 Developers Conference that applications you have given permission to previously now will be given more access to your information as they no longer have to dump any data they’ve collected on you after 24 hours. If you have applications on your Facebook account, please take the time to delete them NOW to avoid these applications getting anymore access to your private data.

How and Why?

Why: Facebook changed their policy (again) so it is up to YOU, the user, to protect yourself.

How: Follow these easy steps and take the time to do this now. Don’t say we never warned you.

From your Facebook page:

Go to “Account” on the top-right of your screen

Click “Application Settings”

Go to the “Show” drop-down box and change to “Authorized.” This will list all of the applications you have ever given permission to since you started your account

Look at the list and click the “X” on the far right next to each application you want to remove

When you get the pop-up box, click “Remove” and then click “Okay” on the next box confirming the application was deleted

So sayeth the Girls of Geek…

Take the time and do this now.

Protect yourself. Because Facebook is not going to do it for you.
