The app is something to do with the song titles if I remember correctly. Ages since I used it. HMHB are a brilliant band (although they probably wouldn’t make sense to people outside the UK).

When I first came across my Facebook apps I was in SHOCK! I actually had no idea that I had "saved" all of those things permanently. Nice reminder!

Usually, that was because some annoying app kept sending me notifications and that forced me to dig deep to figure out what was going on. However, I'd not done it in awhile and hadn't revoked any Twitter permissions. I just cleaned house with both my accounts. Thanks!

There are some really nasty apps on twitter which tweet without your permission and that could really take things out of control.
