Well this is a huge milestone: For the first time in about three years, Zynga no longer has the most popular game on Facebook. Instead, my colleague Kim-Mai Cutler notes on TechCrunch, a game called Draw Something holds that spot in terms of daily active users, a much stronger indicator of actual usage than the monthly active users that are usually touted first. The cross-platform app from OMGPOP is basically a Pictionary-style game for Facebook and iOS via Facebook Connect, and while it's great to see Zynga's dominance on Facebook no longer unquestioned, it's even better to see that it's by a game that fosters user-generated content. (Go check out the game's Facebook page for some impressive entries.) Expect to see more social games with user-generated content soon. Hope one of them is Jim "Babbage" Pubrick's Creatarr.

This also reinforces what Rod says about LL being about developing applications based around creativity. Maybe LL will strike gold in the mobile apps market next.
