Socialcam  grew by 19.3 million MAU and Viddy grew by 13.2 million MAU. These two apps grew far more than almost any other app on the list. Viddy began to gain traction especially after the acquisition of Instagram (it’s known as Instagram for video) and Socialcam’s daily video posts and feed stories make the app ubiquitous. While video apps began to displace photo apps, Instagram and Photo Love still made the list. [Editor's note 5/7/12 4:43 p.m. PT: An earlier draft of this story misidentified Chill as a photo app. It is a video application.]

There were a series of website integrations that proved to be very popular this week: Metacafe’s Timeline app, comedy site 9GAG, and Turkish  integrations Mynet and Younews.in. These apps incorporate different types of sharing, but ultimately result in different feed and Ticker stories.

Candy Crush Saga, Marvel: Avengers Alliance and Zynga Game Bar each grew by more than 1 million MAU. Other popular apps included Zoosk, Skype and Spotify.

Facebook for Every Phone was at the top of our list, growing by almost 3.2 million Likes. The mobile app recently got an update and users are given an option to Like the page when they log in. Converse repeated its formula from last week, posting plenty of photos, including an historic shoe. “The Simpsons” appeared to grow based on its general popularity.

Films that had pages that grew significantly either made the list because they’re in theaters and/or promoting theatrical releases, or due to what appeared to be page consolidations. “Titanic” is currently in theaters, Will Smith is promoting his upcoming movie, as is Adam Sandler; other film pages showed no recent activity and appeared to be consolidated.

Musicians this week included regulars like Adele and Bruno Mars, as well as others who made the list due to a surge in popularity from touring and frequent posting. For example, Snoop Dogg recently performed in a well-received concert alongside a hologram of deceased rapper Tupac. Pitbull is also on tour and promoting his work on a movie soundtrack.

In yet another appearance on our list, Viddy grew by 4.1 million MAU this week. The app is best understood as “Instagram for video.” Users can add filters and effects to short video clips and share them with friends. Viddy integrates Open Graph to share additional activity, such as videos users watch and people they follow. Another mobile video app, Socialcam, gained 750,000 MAU this week.

Then there were a handful of video-driven websites that made the list; these sites tended to employ Open Graph’s heavy sharing techniques on their sites. Dailymotion grew the most by far with 3.9 million MAU. Other sites included the Turkish Siz.net, Metacafe and Younews.in.

Games on the list were led by King.com’s Candy Crush Saga, which significantly outpaced other games this week. Other apps on the list included document sharing site Scribd, Facebook’s latest acquisition Instagram, and the apps for Bing and Pandora.

Finally, professional networking app BranchOut is asking users to heavily recruit users from their different networks, which may have contributed to its growth this week. The app was also in the press after the company secured a new round of funding.

Facebook recently updated its feature phones mobile app to allow users to interact with pages and check into locations, according to posts on the company’s Facebook for Every Phone page.

“Facebook for Every Phone” is a native mobile app compatible with more than 3,600 different Java-enabled feature phones. Previously, the app included the ability to upload photos, read News Feed, view profiles, check messages, see event invites and take other basic actions with your friends, but it did not support fan pages or check-ins.

Now these users can Like pages, view their friends’ Likes and see posts from pages they Like in their mobile News Feed. They can also share check-ins along with a status. Users cannot yet share photos with location information or tag other users in a check-in. Still, these are powerful features for a large demographic of users who do not have smartphones or — as is the case for many users in developing countries — personal computers.

As of Dec. 31, 2011, Facebook for Every Phone had 39.7 million monthly active users, according to AppData. Facebook no longer provides daily or monthly usage data about its native apps, but it’s worth noting that the Facebook for Every Phone fan page has more than 75.9 million Likes. Users are given the option to Like the page when they first log-in using the app, a company spokesperson tells us. Despite only being launched on Jan. 20, Facebook for Every Phone is now the most-Liked page on the site, beating out the general Facebook fan page and pages of popular celebrities, according to our PageData service.

It’s important for Facebook to continue to improve its offerings for feature phones and the mobile web, not just iOS and Android apps. As the social network grows in markets like India and Africa, where users are primarily accessing the site through feature phones, the company needs to continue to offer new features as it has done to increase engagement among desktop and smartphone users. Pages and location sharing are ways for users to interact with entities besides friends. These features are also related to monetization, since they allow Facebook to collect additional data about users’ interests and offline behavior so that it can deliver relevant ads to them in the future.

Facebook initially overhauled its app for feature phones in January 2011, in partnership with Snaptu. It then acquired the Israeli startup three months later and rebranded the feature phone app as Facebook for Every Phone in July 2011. The app included new features, and Facebook made deals with carriers to offer users 90 days of free data access. The app was designed to require less data transfer than mobile sites or Java apps, so low costs likely encouraged users to pay for access after the free trial expired.

A news Timeline application, Younews, topped our list of emerging Facebook apps this week.

We define emerging applications as those that ended with between 100,000 and 1 million MAU in the past week. This week’s top apps grew from between 120,000 and 580,000 MAU, based on AppData, our data tracking service covering traffic growth for apps on Facebook.
