Celebrity Birthdays Tops This Week's List of Emerging Facebook Apps

Celebrity Birthdays, an app showing users which celebrities share their birthday, leads off this week's list of emerging Facebook apps, defined as those still under a million monthly active users. It automatically posts to your wall, without asking permission -- hence the strong growth. Here's the full list: Top Gainers This Week Name MAU Gain Gain,% 1.

As we note over on our games list this morning at Inside Social Games, Ikariam actually goes back to 2006, pre-dating the social game genre. Profil Durumu, a Turkish-language app, comes in at number three. We don't speak Turkish, so we're not entirely sure what's going on with Durumu, but it appears to be a video guide to your Facebook profile -- which makes it an order of magnitude more unique than most of the new non-game apps that appear on this list. Księga Imion i zdrobnień is one of the few Polish-language apps we've seen; it appears to be a database of names and their diminutive forms. The foreign-language apps don't stop there. Kad Raya and Kad Ucapan dan Lagu Raya, for example, are Malay apps celebrating the Muslim holiday Eid, and PhotoFunky is a French-language app for creating photo collages. Finally, Friend Facts™, at number ten, is the latest fast-growing friend quiz, pretty much repeating the standard formula for that category.
