Celebrity Birthdays Facebook App Goes Mega Viral

Oct. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- In just 2 weeks of its launch a simple Facebook app we made went super viral and to date (29 September 2010) has spread corporate messages and advertisements to nearly 2 million Facebook users around the world.

This simple app takes the user's birthday, matches it with a database of celebrity birthdays and delivers them a list of those celebrities with the same birthdays as them.

Dave Walker developed this app and has this to say on its success "It's a very simple mashup combining the user's interest in their own birthday with a thirst for celebrity trivia. Of course this sort of app is not going to get many repeat visits by the same user but it does it's job well in putting adverts in front of a huge number and range of people".
