As you can see, on the top of the chart this week is Appear Offline, an app that allows users to see which of their Facebook friends are online without logging into Facebook chat. At #2 is Social Chatrooms, an app that lets users chat with people from other social networks outside Facebook.
And with 3 of the top 10 apps this week is Watercooler, whose Eagles Fans and Steelers Fans applications are growing quickly as both teams vie for a spot in the Super Bowl (note: I work with Watercooler). Team Great Britain Fans is also growing as Britons are increasingly showing their national pride in 2009.
Other apps connecting Facebook users with shared passions include Circle of Moms and Always Athletes. Social games, communication tools, and Dr. Phil’s Personality Test round out this week’s top 20.
