IPO snapshot: Facebook's top 25 apps by size

Facebook began public trading today at $38 a share and a valuation of $104 billion. These are the top 25 apps on the social network the day of its initial public offering, as tracked by our AppData traffic monitoring service. We'll start with daily active users, which is a measure of the most engaged portion of an app's audience. Note that of these apps, nine are Facebook canvas games. The others are mobile apps, web integrations, desktop apps or a combination. For example, Words With Friends is a canvas and mobile game, Spotify is a desktop and mobile app, and Socialcam has a mobile app, website and canvas presence. The top app, Microsoft, is a web utility that connects Windows Live to a user's Facebook account. 1. Microsoft 12,100,000 2. Draw Something 9,100,000 3. Texas HoldEm Poker 7,100,000 4.
