More mainstream media attention for “Are You Normal?”

Whew. What a week!

Last week, 24 Hours Newspaper published a story about Kinzin’s Facebook plugin Are You Normal? in their print and online magazine (photo on the left, by Rob Kruyt, that accompanied the article). In the article, I’m quoted as saying that we’ve reached 90,000 people around the world. Thanks to the power of the network effect, as of this writing we’ve already passed 245,000 (from 184 countries!) and still going strong.

The point of this post is not to toot our own horn (at least, not only to do that :-), but to mention for your interest that the next set of survey questions we publish will be written in part by our user base. We’ve had questions submitted from Finland, Spain, Greece, Australia, and the UK so far. I’m very excited about this in particular. As with many things, when we’re talking about what’s “normal”, what we choose to measure is often as interesting as the results.

I’ll keep you posted as things progress…

Writers Wanted: Are You Normal? Topics Listed

Winterset In Summer Literary FestivalWe’ve had some excellent feedback and suggestions for our Are You Normal? Facebook Application, so we thought we’d reach out to the community at large and invite you to help write new material.

Since we announced we’d be asking for creative input, we’ve posted 5 new topics on our discussion board and we’d love to have you take part in this fun. We’ll be sure to credit you for your work on the introduction page of the quiz you help create!

We’d Like To Hear From The Creative Side Of Your (Ab)Normal Brains

Would you like to write for one of the fastest growing Facebook applications?

We are going to release a new quiz on our “Are You Normal?” application each week, and we’d like to get your brilliant and creatively entertaining input. Here’s the deal:

  • We regularly post topics to Upcoming Topics on our discussion board on our About Page and on the discussion board of the Kinzin Builders group
  • You create the quiz, suggesting questions and answers, being as normal, or not so normal, as you like (or you can suggest topics as well…)
  • We reward you and your creative savvy on our application and credit you as creator, or LINK to your personal Facebook profile, if that is kosher. If not, just let us know you’d rather remain unlinked.
  • You become part of this great story and community of a fun time well wasted with friends in this Facebook machine of “Are You Normal?”
