The top gainer this week is FarmVille, which saw a gain in nearly three million MAU, a 43 percent increase in monthly active users.
Developed by Zynga, the app allows users to grow their own farms by planting seeds and trees, purchasing animals, buildings, and decorations, and visiting your friends’ farms. Users earn coins along the way to unlock special items (like the pumpkin seeds!) and can buy more coins via credit card, PayPal, mobile phone, etc. While Zynga is currently on the sending and receiving end of IP-related lawsuits – and FarmVille itself can’t be called an original idea – it is showing tremendous success in terms of user acquisition and growth. Launched not even a month ago, the app currently stands at almost 10 million MAU.
And sharing the Top Five spot with FarmVille are Food Fling! (a virtual food fight app), Quizzer (a quiz creator and directory), FARKLE (the addicting dice game we covered earlier), and What Type of Girl Are you? The Top Five shows us that social gaming and quiz apps are in the lead, growing anywhere from 33 to 109 percent in the past week.
The Top 20 fastest growing apps this week also include Playfish’s Restaurant City (#8), competitor to FarmVille Barn Buddy (#11), Circle of Moms (#13), SocialCalendar (#17), and RockYou!’s Hug Me (#20).

Equally impressive is that Farmville hasn’t cannabalized Farm Town as both applications have continued to grow since Farmville’s launch. Over 7.5 million users are playing the two games each day. Additionally, Farm Town appears to have reached a new daily record, hitting 4.5 million daily active users on Monday.

If you blocked it through your news feed page (as in clicking on Hide and then Hide Farmville) then you go down to the bottom of that page to where it says “edit options” and it would show Farmville under the “hide” menu. You just click the ‘X’ next to Farmville and then it will start to show it again.
If you completely blocked the application, you’ll need to go to Account – Privacy Settings – Block List. There will be an option on the privacy settings page, where it says Block List, that says “Edit your lists of blocked people and applications.” you click on that, and if Farmville is in the list, just click on “Unblock” next to that, and everything should be fine.
