Our application, My Day Rating ( http://apps.facebook.com/mydayrating ) is doing better than over half of the applications on Facebook if we use these numbers, as it has over 500 installs, but it has struggled to find any traction despite most people we have asked giving positive feedback about it. I wouldn't consider My Day Rating flat or one dimensional, and some people are using it every day, but clearly there does seem to be something not quite right in the mix. This is interesting.

Hitting the high value targeted audience like you guys did with your app is actually a viable strategy. to my other point… “When designing a facebook strategy for apps you need some very compelling reasons to make users CARE. It needs to do something for them that they find useful, entertaining, share worthy or compelling. Most apps are missing 1, 2, 3 or all 4 of these critical aspects. Thus they effectively remain in the dustbin of application minutia on facebook. Lack of strategy guarantees lack of performance.” Marketing 101. Know your audience. ;) Cheers! http://webcommunityforum.com/2008/02/applications-with-under-350-installs-may-not-be-a-waste-of-money/#comment-10018
