Scrabble knock-off reborn as Wordscraper

63,000 vs ~3,000? 

Aren't you comparing something that's been out for months to something that's been out for hours?

Perhaps in 2 weeks time it might be a safer comparison.

Scrabulous still working...

I made a move just this morning! Something's odd - has it been removed in the USA only?

Not Gone 

For the last couple of days I've been hearing about how Scrabulous is gone, but it's still showing up in Facebook for me, and I'm still playing games!

Digital apples and statistical oranges. 

Thumb Down

"Presently EA's Scrabble reports nearly 63,000 daily active users compared with Wordscraper's 3,569 fans."

Oooh... Numberwatch must hate you.

You can be a user of a facebook app without becoming a fan. In fact, I am not a registered "fan" of any of the facebook apps I use.

Comparing "daily active users" is like comparing the number of copies of Crysis sold with the number of registered users on the official Bioshock fan forum.

It's just silly.
