Facebook users add 65 million apps in first month

It's hard to believe it's now been a month since the Facebook Platform was announced to much hype and fanfare. Prophecies like "Facebook is the new Internet," "Facebook is the web OS," and so on have been espoused from entrepreneurs and journalists alike. At the same time, the venture community has remained skeptical of the value that will be realized for Facebook Platform developers. We've gathered data from all the top apps on Facebook now that we're one month into Platform, and one thing's clear: Facebook applications have taken off like wildfire. In fact, to the tune of 65 million net application installs over the course of the past 30 days. That's an average of 2.5 installed applications per every registered Facebook user. And I may even be missing some. 20 applications now sport over 1 million Facebook users. 35 more have over 100,000. It's clear that questions of application saturation are already here. With some users adding 10-15 applications to their profile, how much attention can application developers realistically expect to attract? I'm looking forward to how month two of Platform shakes out. Will the early streak of Facebook app acquisitions continue? Which startups will unveil new apps? Will users continue to adopt new applications at this rate? Stay tuned :) Rank Facebook Application Users 1 Top Friends 7,030,746 2 iLike 4,045,129 3 Fortune Cookie 3,940,960 4 Horoscopes 3,740,614 5 Graffiti 3,738,513 6 X Me 3,441,475 7 SuperPoke! 3,079,407 8 Free Gifts 2,759,771 9 Movies 2,682,796 10 Video 2,643,710 11 Mobile 1,943,948 12 Moods 1,860,925 13 Honesty Box 1,769,460 14 My Questions 1,400,201 15 Favorite Peeps! 1,364,028 16 Food Fight! 1,242,812 17 Slideshows 1,177,410 18 Causes 1,172,609 19 Quizzes 1,102,933 20 HOT or NOT 1,100,466 21 Trakzor 787,070 22 Poke Pro 772,288 23 Where I've Been 767,969 24 Super Wall 723,046 25 (fluff)Friends 627,813 26 Emote 624,382 27 Audio 616,605 28 Magic 8 ball 412,495 29 Famous Quotes 411,196 30 TravBuddy.com Countries Visited Map 345,299 31 iGift 340,485 32 Red Bull Roshambull 285,203 33 HotLists 283,157 34 Games 281,830 35 Matches 281,488 36 The Compass 259,052 37 I am Hungry 238,116 38 Compliments 231,057 39 Picnik 202,785 40 Pets 202,032 41 Socialmoth 200,742 42 Glitter Text 191,682 43 Tag! 155,616 44 Drink 137,196 45 Extended Info 130,747 46 Trips 128,473 47 Fast Friends 123,351 48 Election '08 121,884 49 Cities I've Visited 121,428 50 Daily Bible Verse 115,234 51 Zombies 113,914 52 Knock Knock Jokes 111,905 53 The Win 108,954 54 Calendar 104,337 55 Slide Shows 100,599 56 Uber Music Player 97,961 57 Kudos! 95,339 58 Questions 90,020 59 Lamefactor 86,550 60 FunWall 86,032 61 PeopleRadar 85,318 62 YouTube Skins 85,239 63 Last.fm Music 80,904 64 Mood 67,657 65 Interview 66,558 66 iRead 63,476 67 10 Second Interview 62,114 68 Football Fan 61,372 69 Dogbook 61,185 70 Uber Media Library 55,510 71 Awareness Ribbons 49,989 72 Family Guy Quotes 49,681 73 EF Globalprint 44,163 74 Dane Cook Quotes 44,064 75 Files 43,809 76 BioRhythms 43,206 77 Daily Horoscope 42,731 78 Astrology 41,900 79 Sticky Notes 39,322 80 Horoscopes 39,078 81 Developer 38,296 82 Countdowns 37,987 83 PopSugar 100 36,050 84 Books 33,162 85 Snapvine 32,158 86 Boombox 31,893 87 Catbook 31,427 88 Jobster Facebook Profile Import 31,423 89 Simpsons Quotes 31,004 90 Love Football 28,863 91 Widgets 28,061 92 Love Horoscope 27,730 93 Locations 26,829 94 BrainFall.com Quiz Results 26,310 95 Graffiti 24,824 96 Hockey Fan 24,515 97 Twitter 24,235 98 TextMe 23,891 99 BandTracker 23,769 100 LOLcats 23,083 [tags]facebook,platform,apps,applications,million[/tags]
