Zachary Allia of Northeastern University wins the award for having the most viral application idea. Northeastern University is also the home of another popular (now deceased and reincarnated) application of the past, Napster. The number of application subscribers has doubled from 60,000 users to over 131,000 users in just over a day. So how does it work? Someone will send you a gift, and then you will receive an email notifying you of that gift. A gift is an icon similar to all the other gifts currently offered on Facebook. In order to receive the gift you must add the application to your profile … pretty smart! I am willing to bet that by tomorrow there will easily be over 250,000 users that have added this application. Want to help spread the word and contribute to a Facebook epidemic? Then go add the Free Gift application now.
