We're making a late charge based on continued growth and a highly engaged user base: note our percentage of daily active users is higher than both. http://adonomics.com/display/5274916578+2389617504+5173067945 Don’t count out Scratch and Win for BC-bred application supremacy.

Well deserved. It certainly is interesting to compare "Are You Normal?" and "Hockey Pool". Taken together they make a good example of how different goals merit different approaches to social application development. Both leverage the social graph in interesting ways, but the user interaction patterns couldn't be more different. With Hockey Pool my goal has always been to create something of long-lasting value to the community. Making the application was a fun way for me to get started with web development. Once in a while I feel bogged down answering the mountains of mail that I get, but each question helps me improve the design, and of course messages from grateful users are extremely gratifying.
