Angry Birds: Facts and Facebook
Last weekend, I had a lot of fun playing Angry Birds with my nephew. It’s really no surprise to see the game downloaded 50 million times for various platforms including iPhone, iPad, Android and other consoles.
I did some research and found interesting facts about the game:
- Launched in December 2009 by Rovio, a Finnish company.
- 50 million downloads in about 14 months of release.
- By end of 2010, 100 million minutes were spent playing the game each day
- Has a retention rate of 80% – so 8 out 10 people will continue downloading updates.
- Generated a million dollars worth of ad sales on the android platform in December 2010
What’s the most interesting is that now Angry Birds plans to come on Facebook. Uh oh, watch out Zynga, there’s trouble in the pigsty.

Mobile market is going up very fast. iPad2 is cool and Playbook better for games. Flash is on Playbook (still not on apple, and probably never will!)
I play Flash games online on my PC and will play it on Playbook (when I get it!!!!)
