# Games

[![][2]][2]Zynga's [CastleVille][3] continues to surge in popularity, with 15.4 million new players this week making it the clear leader. Also from Zynga, [Words With Friends][4] comes in 15th with 500,000 new additions.

Dropping one position, [Bubble Witch Saga][5] comes in seventh growing by 700,000 gamers. [Tetris Battle][3] sees a 400,000 seven day increase and finishes in 18th place for the second week in a row.

# Page Tabs

[![][6]][6]Woobox carries and keeps the page creation trend going. [Static Iframe Tab][7] collects a 1.6 million tabs built and view total in second place. A new addition to the list, the tool developer's [Custom Tab][8] debuts in 16th ending with a 400,000 weekly growth total.

The tool helping musicians improve their social networking presence — [BandRx][9] — takes the final position on the countdown amassing a 300,000 increase.

# Social News

[![][10]][10]The competition heats up as news is more easily spread throughout Facebook. [_Washington Post_ Social Reader][11] leads the trend advancing six places to third; 1.2 million is the final weekly growth tally. [Yahoo][12]'s news updates that played a part in its previous week success cannot maintain the positive statistics, and 800,000 newly synched accounts place the search engine in sixth.

[_The Independent_][13] returns and increases by 550,000 readers in 11th place. Just three places behind, [_The Guardian_][14] accrues a 500,000 comeback.

# Facebook Connect

[![][15]][15][Spotify][16] improves to the eighth spot; 700,000 more social networkers are sharing their playlists and new music with friends. [Skype][17] gains a declining 600,000 growth figure — a tenth place finish.

Discount and free goods are hard to resist, and [ShareAndTell.com][18] connects 500,000 new adders to a number of brands in 13th. [Scribd][19] welcomes 400,000 new writers — a sixth place loss to 17th.

# Just For Fun

[![][20]][20][Profile Banner (all languages)][21] takes a huge leap — 13 places — forward, and 1,160,000 additions give the application a fourth place finish.

A former longer standing trend returns with a one spanish application. [Horóscopo Diário][22] makes a first appearance in ninth place after a weekly growth increase of 600,000.

# Question Apps

[![][23]][23]The question application trend doesn't muster the same momentum, but [21 questions][24] still manages an impressive 1.1 million increase in fifth place. Also decreasing by two places from its previous ranking, [Between You and Me][25] ends in the 12th position growing by 500,000 inquisitive social networking friends.

We end with the return of [Truth Game][26] in 19th; 400,000 adds aid in this comeback.

Readers, did you find yourself hooked on any of the week's fastest growing applications?
