Facebook is in the final stages of selecting five winners of $225,000 FBfund grants and has just put up a Facebook application that lets members vote for their favorite apps out of the 25 finalists. (See my earlier post for details). There is a video for each app, and you can vote once per day.

I took a quick look at the applicants, and the ones that get my vote are BottleRocket (wine recommendation app based on your taste, ratings and preferences), MouseHunt (social game) NewsBrane (personalized news recommendation feed), Pongr (social price comparison app with a mobile component), Teach the People (social education app that just launched). Which is your favorite?

The winners might get additional funding from the FbFund, which is a $10 million fund run by Facebook, Accel, and the Founders Fund.

Here is a list of the 25 finalists:
