"I think Farmville is more addictive than it is fun." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"The game is also more than happy to bribe players for participating in its viral spread: cute lonely animals will show up on your farm periodically and as a player you face a dilemma in sentencing them to virtual abandonment and death unless you post on your Facebook wall that you need one of your friends to start playing Farmville and "adopt" the adorable little self-promoter. " - bob

That's less bribery than blackmail. - Jim Norris

True - these things are popular and addictive, but hardly social and you don't learn anything. (And I would have said so as a comment on the blog post, but woo-wee that's a lot of information they want for a registration!) - Ciaoenrico

I'd have not problem sentencing an IMAGINARY animal to the death chamber. It's make believe! Then again, I don't spend my time playing these silly time wasting games either.... - Jeff P. Henderson

What Facebook really needs is BRE. :) - James Leard from iPhone

@James: there's this group: http://www.facebook.com/group... but I don't know of anyone working on a BRE for Facebook. - Amit Patel
