Kastle: Facebook Gaming = Time Wasted

Top 10 Facebook Games
10 Mind Blowing Statistics about Facebook Games



I must say that i am a die-hard Facebook gamer. I play Sims Social, and the Hunger Games adventure daily on Facebook and i complete goals and earn money and points. And yes, i HAVE spent $1 to get ahead in my Sims Social gaming. On the site with the mind blowing statistics, the most interesting statistic to me was "56 MILLION PLAY DAILY!" That's a lot of people and another reason to be addicted to Facebook. And what's even funnier is that 69% of Facebook gamers are women. Who knew? To be completely honest, Facebook games are a waste of time and i have found myself playing Facebook games for hours when i could be doing something a LOT more productive. Plus, once your addicted, you will do anything to finish your goals on time. Even pay money to get ahead and get nicer things for your "Sim" or "pet" or whatever. These Facebook games are exactly like playing video-games. Just on a computer and a different augmented reality. You can eat, sleep, have fun, and do all the things you can do in the real world but you get to create your own farm, house, or even social life. Facebook games also scam you. In a website, it mentions that "In exchange for participating in the advertising offers, at the end the users receive virtual goods in the form of virtual currency or items....The problems is that some of these offers are of questionable integrity or downright scams." So you can easily get scammed or get harmful things on your computer just because you were trying to earn more cash for your game. How many of you play Facebook games?

Ally: New searching ways.

Searching with Facebook and Twitter.

This is an interesting link, Kastle I hope you don't mind me stealing it :). I had someone that I follow on twitter post this link about a new way of Bing searches. Personally, I really don't like using Bing, I am a die hard Google fan, but I am sure this is something that will come to Google, eventually, as well.

You will now be able to ask friends and followers about something you are searching for or about on Bing. Through this new Facebook and Twitter feature there will be a side bar to ask your friends. And of course it also has that wonderful (sarcasm) "friend suggestion" section where they will suggest people that are searching the same information for you to friend or follow. Greeeat.

Anyways, I found it kind of interesting. Enjoy :)
