SuperPoke!
Superpoke! and SuperPoke! Pets were virtual goods apps for Facebook and MySpace originally created by Nikil Gandhy, Will Liu, and Jonathan Hsu. They launched less than one month after the creation of the Facebook Platform. Max Levchin's Slide acquired the application and its creators in 2007, with the application growing to become one of Facebook's most popular applications in terms of monthly active users. The application mimicked Facebook's own " poke" feature, adding new actions like smiles, winks, slaps, and “smacking” Facebook friends. At one point SuperPoke! allowed users to virtually “stab” friends; Facebook later asked Slide to remove this option. SuperPoke! differentiated itself from other applications by introducing characters such as a sheep, chicken, and penguin. SuperPoke! was shut down on September 27, 2011 and SuperPoke! Pets closed on March 7, 2012. Shutdown of SuperPoke! Pets and subsequent lawsuit for loss of purchased virtual goods In August 2010, Sli ...

Monthly Active Users
Active users is a measurement metric that is commonly used to measure the level of engagement for a particular product or object, by quantifying the number of active interactions from visitors within a relevant range of time (daily, weekly and monthly). The metric has many uses in both commerce and academia, such as on social networking services, online games, or mobile apps. Although having extensive uses in digital behavioural learning, prediction and reporting, it also has impacts on the privacy and security, and ethical factors should be considered thoroughly.
