Facebook is calling it 'frictionless sharing.' It means once you sign up for the apps, they will automatically share your activity through Facebook. That said, users will be able to limit who can see this activity when they sign up for the apps, just as they can limit what friends or groups of friends can see their other Facebook updates.

The latest apps include Ticketmaster, reviews site Rotten Tomatoes and Pinterest, which bills itself as an 'virtual pinboard' that lets people collect things they find around the Web. Facebook expects developers to create thousands more in the coming weeks and months.
