Useless application?

I downloaded and installed Little Snitch today to give it a spin as it was part of the bundle of software I bought it (which brings me to the question, why did I buy it?, but that’s another story). The program is well implemented, but just about every application makes outgoing network connections these days, so it is always popping up basically saying “xyz application wants to connect to abc server. Allow?” After click always allow more than a few dozen times, I finally disabled it (for now). I’m sure after I train it, it will be less annoying, but how can I really tell what applications are making legitimate requests and which are not? This seems like the little boy who cried wolf.
