Facebook App Center has its kinks (First Take) (Credit: Facebook) Facebook's App Center has arrived, and it's got more than 600 apps in tow, including big hitters like Pinterest, Draw Something, Nike+, Path, and Ghost Recon. Let's take a look at how it all works.

The first thing you should know is that App Center is not a Facebook marketplace akin to Google Play or Apple's App Store. Rather, it's a hub for discovering new and interesting apps based on your Facebook activity and your friends' activity. In fact, whenever App Center recommends a mobile app, it actually links out to Google Play and iTunes so you can easily download it. On the Web, you can access the App Center through a bookmark on the top left of your news feed page. App Center recommends apps based on the apps that you are already using. (9) App Center.

These days, we probably spend too much time glued to computer screens, tweeting, updating our statuses, tumbling, pinning things to Pinterest, or doing whatever it is we do on the growing number of social networks we belong to.

If you actually look at the infographic above, you'll notice that 14 percent of the respondents don't even use the social network. Despite this, a quick math calculation shows you that all the content listed is still Liked by less than 20 percent of Facebook users (16 divided by the difference of 100 and 14).
