WhatisMyComfortZone.com Facebook App Launched

When I launched WhatisMyComfortZone.com in February 2012 over 10,000 people measured their comfort zone using the web app, but after the initial surge of users, traffic died down to a couple hundred users per week (still not bad, but pretty low in comparison to what it *could* be).

The initial surge of traffic was mostly referred via Twitter after a few people with large followings tweeted about it, and so relying on this as a traffic source was obviously unsustainable.

Over the past few weeks i’ve been experimenting with Facebook Applications, and have created What is My Comfort Zone 2.0 – the Facebook App version, which you can use here: https://apps.facebook.com/whatismycom...

There are a few minor changes to the original comfort zone calculator, the main being that the personal information collected by the app (email address, name, age, sex, city, and country) is received automatically through accepting permission to access those details within your profile (rather than having to fill them out in a form). This information is really important from a research perspective as it allows us to identify how our comfort zones vary over age, sex, and in different countries.
