My claim to fame ain’t Tweekly.fm

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Tweekly.fm has reached a great milestone this week! It has finally topped the 1000 users mark. To be exact. 1112 users (on sunday) choose to send their last.fm data as a tweet to their twitter account. I’ve always been excited about it. It is a useful service, one which I wanted, and as goes to show, other people too! In the beginning it was racing against my Facebook app called Muse Lyrics. If you are a Muse fan, like I am, you can use it to add any Muse lyric onto your Facebook profile. As of this blog, it has 400 users. I’m happy that my web projects are flourishing (sort of).

It turns out, I actually have another Facebook App that has 8300 monthly users! Yes, you heard me! 8300 monthly users. Blegh. Here I thought Tweekly.fm was my claim to fame… Am I excited? Not really.

It’s a crappy app built with an application builder. It is called, “Are you awesome?”. I made it to see if I can make something viral. It’s a short quiz (one question). It asks you: “Are you awesome?”. There is only one option: “Yes”. If you choose to do so, it sends the results to your newsfeed saying, “Jane Doe is awesome. Are you?”. Yes, its viral. People would want to click on it. So isn’t that awesome?

Not really… It was made with an application builder. I’ll never see any ad revenue.

This makes me want to make another crappy, viral facebook app… People are stupid.
