You apply it, let it penetrate for a few minutes and wipe it off with a towel. It says right on the bottle that you can't wipe off too much and it lasts just as long as any other lube without attracting quite as much gunk as similar "wet' lubes. Since you should clean and lube your chain every ride, it saves a little time scubbing the chain and pulleys. Rock n’ Roll Lube is great.

True getting lubricant all over your bike is a bad idea, however holding a rag (cupping it actually) beneath and behind the rag catches all the overspray, therefore you dont get any lube on your bike or the floor. Furthermore I think blasting lubricant onto every link helps further remove grit and residual water left from the ride or cleaning. lubing my chain with Liquid Wrench SPRAY-ON.

If you use it, you have to pretty much spray the chain down at least once a week (depending on conditions) to keep it from binding. Tri-flo is great, its thin and that makes it easy to get in the important parts, which wd-40 does well in the short term. Graphite or teflon are usually the important lubricating components.
