Chase Community Giving Makes a Comeback on This Week's List of Emerging Facebook Apps
Twice before, Chase Community Giving has had high points during which it claimed over two million MAU. More recently, it has had fewer than 100,000. But Chase is on the way back up on this week’s list of emerging Facebook apps, defined as those still under a million monthly active users.
Following Causes, Chase is one of the few philanthropic apps we’ve seen survive well in the long term. It’s the top non-game app reported by AppData, below, with 310,570 new MAU:

The two games on top, by the way, are pretty interesting — especially Verdonia, which is one of the few intensive strategy games that we’ve seen really take hold on Facebook. We’ve got more coverage on the whole category over at Inside Social Games.
Profile Picture Analyzer!, at number six, randomly assigns numbers to your picture for beauty, sexiness, coolness and intelligence; it has been growing for a few weeks. Random number generation has been popular of late, as well as quote and phrase of the day apps, which is where Phrases, the next app down, fits in.
Spanish-language apps are doing well this week. Trivias Locas – Trivias, encuestas y tests is a quiz creator, although it also stresses trivia, as the name suggests. ¿Qué tan fanático eres de Toy Story? is an individual quiz about the movie Toy Story.
Down at number 15, scoremaster is a fantasy soccer app benefiting from the World Cup. That’s probably also the case for sProphet, in with the s stands for “sports”. Finally, a non-Swedish speaker might look at Riksdagsvalet 2010 and assume it’s also soccer-related. On the contrary; it’s a prediction app for the Swedish parliamentary elections, which must be especially exciting this year.
