NP Rank:
Are You Normal? One Of The Fastest Growing Facebook Applications
As of this morning, just shy of 2 weeks officially included on the Facebook application map, "Are You Normal?" has added over 25,000 users, making it one of the fastest growing apps on Facebook. That's an average of 6 users per minute, or roughly one new user every 10 seconds. This morning it hit page one for "recently popular". The "Are You Normal?" Team, from Vancouver, BC, are pretty pleased, to say the least, as there are over 5,000 applications out there.
"It was a big moment when we pulled ahead of 'Pee on your friends', and now we just keep moving up", says team leader Michael Fergusson, "Our application falls under the just-for-fun category of extremely memorable and meaningful ways to waste time in Facebook!".
They've just introduced a fresh, new design, making it easier for users to move around the app and see personal test results and those of Facebook friends.
Something else of importance they would like share: every week "Are You Normal?" will be adding a new quiz to test your normalcy. Up this week: "Are you a normal Facebook user?". (Is anyone?)
The "Are You Normal?" team would like to hear feedback from the users of the app and the community at large. You can comment or post a note in their Kinzin Builders group where they can respond and help you out or answer your questions and suggestions.

megan cole, i think the social phenomenon which the popularity of this application reflects is the most interesting aspect of this story...people are looking for affirmation or at least a method to gauge themselves against the general populace.
Could you tell us a little more about how the application works or what exactly it does for our non-facebook using fellow NP'ers...
