Facebook Applications that made it big in 2010

Amongst all the other applications, its really no surprise that Farmville still comes out the winner on Facebook with 73.6 million users. With Café world coming in a far second at 30.2 million users. Texas Holdém coming in at 8th with 23.7 million  users & Mafia Wars at 10th with 22.6 million users.

The Top 10 list adjusts a little to allow for the addition of an older application, recently added to the metrics group used to track usage each week. iHeart, which has been an extremely popular application on Facebook for some time now, jumps onto the list in the #3 spot.
The addition of iHeart bumps some regulars such as Pet Society off the list, as it continues to face stiff competition from the ever rising newer PetVille game, developed by Zynga. Interestingly though, FarmVille, Cafe World and Mafia Wars have all been experiencing user decline over the past few weeks. Mafia Wars alone has lost almost 5 million players in the last 6 weeks.

Topping the Top 10 Gainers list is Pillow Fight. It’s a time-sensitive game allowing you to pillow fight with your friends, crushes, affair, love or enemies. The winner is declared within two days if the opponent fails to hit you back.
Next is a newer game called Tiki Farm, that seems to be a cross between Happy Island and FarmVille. You get to farm on an island, grow pineapple or sugacaner to please the Tiki Spirits, and yes, even wear grass skirts!
Rounding out the top 3 gainers is an application sure to appeal to the younger crowd – Graffiti. This app allows you to draw on the photos of your friends. Could be fun!
As predicted, Dantes Inferno appears on the list as well.
