You're right. The application block in Facebook is an app. An application in a web page that sends data to an app is an application. An application that is controlled by one system and displayed by another is a widget. The areas where widgets are displayed are often called blocks, but can be called anything in the system displaying the widget.

Actually they are called apps. Facebook does not use the full word "application"; not on the Facebook page, nor in the help center.

Hi, guys...your help on IS/ARE was valuable. Thanks

New question...if you have an application that places a block
on your
Facebook Timeline, what is the official FB name of the block?
If I was
doing a web page, I'd call it a widget, but I don't think that is
appropriate in the post-FB world.
