There are many applications and games created for Facebook (a social utility used by more than 22 millions people), Geo Challenge is one of my favorite, because it contains all of the "must" elements for an application to be successful in social network.

| 1 | Fun | No learning curve required! "KISS" (a.k.a keep it simple and stupid) is the way to go. This simple concept is often igored, because designer tends to over design in fear that end users would be disappointed with less functionalities. |
| 2 | Social |
The ability to notify your friends about your latest score and comment REAL-Time with EASE is the key for virtual social networking. Knowing the fact that your friend may "challenge" or "comment" on your action is just exciting. |
| 3 | Learning | Time spent actually helps you to increase your knowledge. (e.g. no feeling of wasting time). (note: I personally turn away from game that does not help me for the better. Afterall, spending time with actual people is much better with computer) |
| 4 | Goal oriented |
There is always a goal and next level to shoot for. (i.e. everyone wants to be measured and compared. It is basic instinct of human nature to compete and surpass) |
What's your score?
