Facebook this week launched a voting application so that members can vote for their favorite application. This is one of the last stages of the fbFund's competition to find the top five companies that will receive $225,000 each. 

According to Facebook, the top 25 were narrowed down from a 600 teams of developers and entrepreneurs. Facebook made the first-round selections, but is opening up the second round to the crowd. 

Here's a list below of the applications. You can also view each team's 30-second overview and try out their application before voting. Cast your vote by Sunday, November 30th. Facebook expects to announce the winners the week of December 8th.
