Facebook Applications Have A Slow Holiday Season

While Facebook may have been the most popular website in the United States on Christmas day, Facebook applications saw traffic decline over the past couple weeks during the holiday season. Zynga, the largest Facebook application developer, saw traffic stagnate at around 230 million monthly active users for the two weeks starting December 14th. While Zynga had a slow pre-Christmas, RockYou wasn’t dramatically affected until Christmas day. The story is the same for most Facebook applications, except those which were holiday oriented.
