Why I hate farmtown and farmville
75Games on Facebook
I am not a huge fan of Facebook but it does have some useful features. I can stay in touch with people easily and it can also a good place to promote your websites/business.
What I am not a fan of however, are all of the mindless applications that some people seem to love. It is easier for me to just all of those stupid "gift" and "buy me a drink" requests.
My sister just got into Farmville and she begged me to join and become her "neighbor" to help her out. The problem is that I now get even more requests from my other friends who are also playing Farmville.
I have heard it is addictive, but there doesn't seem to be much skill at all to the game. When I look at my friends' computers who should be working all I see is the farmville page open.
The stream of my friends' updates in Facebook used to be interesting, comments, links and photos, but that has just been replaced with irrelevant Farmville messages, like "someone just lost a cow on their farm".

me too. I never heard of it and now I am glad.
My niece in England keeps trying to get me in to the yoville thing on Face Book taking a pass for now
These Facebook games are extremely addictive, but I honestly don't know why. I think the Farmtown layout tends to feed the OCD in all of us. So, I'm wishy washy: I hate that I seem to love it!
OCD?
I agree, the game is pointless and most tasks are very mundane. It's like having a boring, unpaid job. I also checked out Yoville. It's the same thing...shopping, moving stuff around your apartment, now in a videogame!!
I can't help myself, always have been competitive in games. I originally started farmville for my 8 year old daughter but I seem to have taken over. It is a mindless game but once I started I just had to get to the next level before everyone else. (I have to confess I am the sister mentioned in the article,lol) Time for me to go and harvest my crops.....
I HATE farmville. It's so pointlessly stupid and everyone posts the crap to their walls so it shows up on my homepage. NOBODY CARES IF YOU FOUND A ****ING COW!!!

I have never heard of Farmville, but just joined Facebook and don't like it much with all the pokes, and icons and such. Will stay because it can be useful down the road as far as writing and business is concerned, and do have a few friends I enjoy. Thanks for the heads up on Farmville, LOL, will stay out.
