In the face of March Madness, the game grew 130%, we reviewed the game previously, on Inside Social Games. Two basketball bracket apps were quite popular on Facebook this week, too. CBS Sports brackets added 229,800 MAU this week; the app is pretty straightforward, allowing users to pick their final four and share to the news feed. Brack Challenge by Citizen Sports, however, was much more complex and created many more opportunities for news feed exposure; it grew 160,800 MAU this week. The app includes a $5,000 grand prize related to the final four brackets, also syncs with an iPhone app, includes trivia questions and allows for extra alerts to your stream. When you play trivia, if you don’t know the answer, you can share the question to your stream for “help” from your friends. You can Like your own bracket once it’s created to receive alerts in your news feed and you can check into games, which also creates a news feed story. Then there were three Turkish video apps. VidyoTV Video grew by 408,600 MAU; every time you view a video a link posts to your Wall, although users may also share videos manually. Video75 Videoları grew about 288,000 MAU this week; when you use the app a news feed story is generated, users may also Like, share or comment on videos. Finally, Yılbaşı Hediyeleri saw 213,400 MAU this week. There was a Vietnamese horoscope app that posts horoscopes to your Wall; Tư vấn vui grew by 323,700 MAU.

Finally, การวิเคราะห์สมอง, the Thai brain analysis app that posts photos of users’ friends to the stream saw 226,800 MAU this week.
