Facebook Apps Reach 20,000; How Many Are Time Savers?

Rodney at FaceReviews is reporting that the Facebook application count has passed 20,000 today. Rodney notes, "The big trend to take note of here is that applications are becoming better (less annoying). They are adding more functionality and moving into more complex ground." He goes on to say that there is still plenty of room for new apps to launch and prosper.

How many of the 20,000 are poke, super poke, ultimate poke, super dooper poke, reverse poke, top down poke, retro poke, 80s poke, city poke, farmer poke, you get the point. Is there a breakdown of the 20,000 available that displays the apps by category?

While there was a good bit of discussion late last year of Facebook taking over as the business networking tool over LinkedIn, it appears that this chatter has died out. I still see LinkedIn as the business networking tool and Facebook as the personal networking tool.
