At this rate, you’ll be hard-pressed next year to find someone who doesn’t have their own app on Facebook. Today The New York Times entered the fray with their own New York Times Quiz app that, as you might expect, asks users to answer question from world headlines and then assigns them a ‘Times IQ’ based on their amount of correct answers.

If you read my rant about the big media companies and the dumbing-down of the news, you should know I’m definitely in favor of something like this – a way to at least somewhat promote people to know what the hell is going on in the world, lest their friends see that they’re ‘Times IQ’ is in the low range.
