AddictingGames 358,500 +168,490 +89% Bandsintown is an app for music lovers and musicians that allows you to either post or follow music activity. The app has a Last.fm, Pandora, iTunes and Twitter integration that provides lots of opportunities to set the user up with bands to follow. The app boasted almost 300,000 users this week, a 55% gain. All manner of games were popular on the list this week. There were virtual world games like Salon Street, Turkish Kebap Dünyası, Dog Show Friends, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena - The Game, PyramidVille in French, Pawn Stars: The Game and Pizza World. Other games included Friend Characters, which creates photos for your profile and Addicting Games, almost like a clearinghouse of different apps and games. Check out our sister site Inside Social Games for more details. Birthdays Reminder customizes calendars with Facebook friends in Valentine’s Day themes. One interesting way the app builds traffic is that, when it publishes the photo album with your customized calendar, each and every one of your friends is tagged in the month they have their birthday. This, in turn, alerts one’s friends about the app — the aggressive virality of the feature appears to be a platform policy violation. SpeedDate, which was on our list last week, was also growing a lot this week, counting 889,200 users; the app sets users up on “speed dates” on Facebook to chat. There were also a few poker apps that grew about the same amount this week. Texas Poker in Thai showed a 229% growth this week with 217,500 users, and The Pokerist Club, which showed a gain of 41% with 214,700 users.
