How to Block Blingee
I have seen MULTIPLE friends on Facebook complaining about a new application that seems to be literally invading everyone’s wall on Facebook.
It’s called Blingee and it’s a flash-based card; as in Christmas card, New Years Card, Birthday Card…you get the picture. If you use the application and “allow” it like many of us do with most applications, Blingee will evidently post things to your wall (now, to come clean, this is heresy – I haven’t had it happen to me – maybe that’s because I’ve already blocked it – heh) – one person in particular referred to it as “wall graffiti” and yes, it’s even been referred to as spam.
I have not personally noticed this but know plenty of people who have, some very well known and respected.
So if this is you, and you’re sick of Blingee posting to your wall (and even if you haven’t been blessed with this application yet 
), here’s how you can block it yourself so that A) if it’s posting to your wall, you can stop it or B) you can prevent it from happening to you in the first place.
While you’re signed into Facebook, visit http://www.facebook.com/apps/block.php?id=3447538274&action=block&source=about
Once you’re there, you’ll see this:
Block Blingee
And then just click “block”.
After you click “block” you are “conveniently taken to their application page – but just navigate off and you should be good to go and should not see anything further from Blingee.

Now, go enjoy a clean wall on Facebook.

Thank you for posting this. I suck at figuring things like this out, and I hate spam on my facebook wall. I appreciate you taking the time to show me how!
You’re very welcome. Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for this! I was peeved that Facebook didn’t offer me the option to block right from my wall…but this was super-easy.
I do not know you, but I love you. THANK YOU!
LOL!!!! Thanks Tara! Your comment made my day! Glad I could help!

Thank you so much for sharing this info! Those cards are well intentioned but I had to spend 30 minutes a day clearing them during the holiday season.
