Application, Are You Normal, Facebook |
No Comments →
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”. We’re 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! “Are You Normal?” falls under the just-for-fun category of extremely memorable and meaningful ways to waste time in Facebook!
And we’ve introduced a fresh, new design, making it easier for you to move around the app and see your test results and those of your friends. Something else of importance we would like share with you: every week we will be adding a new quiz to test your normalcy. Up this week: “Are you a normal Facebook user?”. (Is anyone?)
As always, we’d like to hear feedback from our users and the community at large. Feel free to leave us a note or post in our Kinzin Builders group and we’d be happy to help you out or answer your questions and suggestions.

Just How Normal Are You?
One of the reasons we’ve kept our heads down in the last little while is so that we could find new ways to allow you to connect with your family online. It’s kind of what we’re all about!
Facebook, the online community that has taken over some people’s lives in recent months, opened their doors to other companies for developing web applications for the Facebook audience. We decided to join in on the fun and create something that would be useful for your family to communicate online in a playful (and very constructive!) way. Are You Normal? is the result.
Are You Normal? is an application where close friends and family can connect to do what families do best – make fun of each other. Think of it as a personal pop-quiz, created for laughs. Our goal is to help the Facebook community engage with the people who matter most to one another. What really allows for things to come alive is when you add your close friends and family into the mix - you can defend your own answers and call others out on their (not so normal) answers. You may just learn a few things you didn’t know already too! Plus you’ll receive your normalcy percentage compared to the rest of Facebook, and we could all use a good dose of that!
We’re just tweaking those last few things and will be going *officially* live in a matter of hours…. But why wait? Add the application here.
