Phrases overtook FarmVille in the list of the most popular applications

FarmVille lost first place in the list of the most popular Facebook applications. This cult game kept the lead for 15 months, but according to Appdata statistics , since November 20, 2010 its monthly audience is already less than that of the Phrases application.



Phrases - the development of Takeoff Monkey, the program allows you to select and publish quotes, pictures and polls on given topics. The audience itself came at the expense of viral advertising: a link to the program is indicated in each message compiled with its help.



FarmVille came out on top in August 2009 and reached a peak of a monthly audience of 84 million people earlier this year. But after Facebook made changes to the notification system to fight spam, many popular games lost millions of subscribers.

Despite losing first place, Zynga is the developer of five of the eight most popular applications on Facebook, including Texas HoldEm Poker, FrontierVille, Mafia Wars and Cafe World, and generally the most successful software developer.







In the coming weeks there will be the premiere of the first international game CityVille , which will be released simultaneously in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. So far, only one Zynga game has been localized - Texas HoldEm Poker has been translated into Chinese.















FarmVille still retains the title of the most popular game on Facebook. Moreover, among all the applications, no one can even come close to the daily audience. FarmVille has 16.7 million people, while Windows Live Messenger, the closest pursuer, has 9.8 million.







According to experts , Phrases will not be long at the top of the rating, because the developers have recently closed registration for users from the United States for unknown reasons.
