Scrabulous Successful Scrabble Facebook Application
According to its Facebook profile “Scrabulous is a cool application,” one that lets you “invite your friends” to play and is “the best word game!” After listening to the game’s
co-creator Jayant Agarwalla speak on his brainchild for an hour, it became apparent that this succinct, yet hyperbolic statement may in fact be very true.
The little application game that could, developed by Indian brothers Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla, now boasts more than 3.2 million registered users on Facebook and more than 700,000 games in play on any given day. To put this in perspective, Scrabulous has more players than the Greater Vancouver area has inhabitants. And it’s amassed this following in just nine short months. Whoa!

Hey..that was a nice post. I specially liked your take on Facebook
applications. Applications on Facebook have been gaining a lot of
grounds recently. But very less achieve that “viral” status.
This one, featuring the Bollywood hearthrob Shahrukh Khan has that
“sticky” quality about it.

It is based on the recent game show going by the name of “Paannchvi
Pass” (I don’t remember the exact name. . . Shahrukh is God enough for
me :P )
Really liked the way they have designed the application.
Would like to know your thoughts on this one.
Will come back to this post soon.
