How many Facebook applications is too many? With people adding unnecessary apps to their profiles at a blistering pace, we wondered just how far you could push the limits; from the Abe Vigoda dead or alive indicator to Ploppy, the app for sharing the current state of your poop, we added hundreds of 'em.

This screen capture shows what happens when you add over 200 Facebook apps: a huge mess. It takes about 40 seconds to load, which is arguably faster than many MySpace profiles. Those on the New York network (or those who want to join for a few minutes) can check out the profile here. And here's a link to a downsized image, just in case the one below fails to load.

What did we learn from this experiment? Well, adding Facebook apps takes a really long time, my poop is currently healthy and Abe Vigoda lives on.

Update: coincidentally, Jason Calacanis, Fred Wilson and others are talking about Facebook overload this weekend.
