I got addicted guys!! ..... I don't why? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet2 months ago

Hello Guys,

I was new to facebook a three months ago and now I got some time to get into it a lil deeper. I was amazed.

The zynga games are really attractive and make people addictive. I am a regular player in yoville, cafeworld and happy aquarium.

But this yoville is making me crazy and it is a virtual world where people meet real people in a virtual world (may be a city)with cafe, diner, night club... many houses and so many... I hope many of us know about these but its really a new experience to me...

What you think of these games, people?... It eats most of our precious time I must confess. But is there any cons in these games?

What you think of these... Please share your experience. How do you use facebook for you ...

a) As a hobby?
b) For business?
c) Or making friends?

Waiting for your awesome responses...

Cheers, Have a good day always..... thumbup

Hi phillip_shinyhappy Well, I remember your profile pics with the true you and compare it with the pics now, I can't stop myself smile when I see that yellow rounded ball play with waterlol
THAT IS! The reason why I avoid to play any games in facebook! All, ALL of my friend who try, who play facebook games, are addicted to it! They talk about it and spend their nap time or break time play that game, even my bf! So when I open their profile page, it adds up with their level or accomplishment in games. My bf play ghost hunter and cafe world. My best friend and brother play pet societies, soo many new games adds everyday. I don't understand and don't want to understand. Knowing the name of the game and what is it all about is enough for melol
But I guess if that is can make you happy and learn something new, spend your leisure time, then surely it's fun!
Btw, I've seen your blog! It is cool! How can you make that good blog over short period of time?


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Hello Dear friend,

After a long time.. Hope u r fine.... Never ever go into games in facebook. I really regret that I will be better if I haven't known about it. Its pretty hard for me to quit.

There are also some unwanted things happening in these games in the name of dating esp., in this game. Some are safe and most of them are coming only for that thing.

Thank you so much for your appreciation for my blog. Infact I have 4 blogs and a website. But due to FB games I have no time to write good articles and updates for my blog. My time gets wasted. I need to come back again.

Cheers... have a nice day always.... thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1149)   ranked 7,607 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Hihappy
LOLz.. don't say that, I hear in facebook games, it is just like in real life, we need to eat, work, visiting friends,etc, is that right?
What?! Dating? What do you mean with this? Please explain to me, Phillip.. So instead of play, some of the players use the game to date? How can?
Waw! 4 websitesthumbup That is good! Sure it takes time to make updates in each of them.
May I ask you one question? If we wanna make a blog, is it better to focus on 1 topic (ex: earning money online) or several topic in one blog (ex: photography, piano, earning money online, etc)? Thankshappy


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Hi ChrysanTflower,

Yes I agree it is same as that of a real life but there we can create events to have a sale or we can invite girls or boys in ages 18 - 25 or something like that even 12 - 15 and have an 'x' talk with him/her... with our room locked. thumbdown..and even more don't wanna mention here... But for making friends it is really a good one. But not for good always... surrender

Regarding blog, if you need more traffic and good clicks for your ads and wanna earn money, it is better to concentrate on one topic if it is topic oriented. If you want to start a personal you can have more topics in a single blog... Just PMed you my blogs... Hope u get some idea... If interested just have a look.. otherwise leave it...

Hope u got some


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1149)   ranked 7,607 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

I see.. well, that is quiet bad if children play facebook game and invited to join that "x" talk.. Hmm, I guess it is time to watch my brother when he play fb games
so it depends on our purpose. Thanks for your info, Philliplol Maybe I will start make my first blog,,hehe..
Oh, and fyi, I don't get any pm from you..

That sounds a bit worrying actually. I have a FB account but I seldom use it. Is it safe for children???


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  4 weeks ago

It is not safe for children if they are into games. There are spying softwares which can be installed on your computer that will track everything you do on your computer.

I have a facebook account but i seldom open it. i have so many invitations for games but i just ignored it. one of my friends told me that if i will try one of its game particularly that mafia wars i will enjoy it and will later find myself addicted to it. well, i am curious and i want to give it a try this coming weekend but will be cautious not to be hooked on it.

Facebook for me is an opportunity to connect with friends and loved ones long been missed!


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

I am recently a new subscriber to facebook. I haven't gotten much into the games. I am also on myspace, and have used yoville there but didn't like it, I might like it more on facebook, but we'll just have to see. I guess I am off to check those out, oh and by the way, it's personal/ I joined for a ea promotional coupon!

happyhello Phillip,No wonder you haven't been around for quite some time. well, i am a bit addicted myself with other games such as farm ville. but beyond that i don't pursue much on games in face-book, except farm ville. as for me, it's a hobby and a way to make a still good contact with face book friends in case something happens to mylot again, you know, maintenance shocklollolfor business? maybe if i can display ads for free, though

I have a lot of friends who is addicted to Farmville...and they wanted to make their farm grow bigger. I don't know actually know how to play it. I don't engage to such games...But upon seeing my sisters enjoying it, I think it's cool...but I never try.. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

I am a bit addicted to Facebook myself. But it is not the games that have me interested. What has caught my interest is catching up with old friends from the past. I seem to spend a large amount of time on there, whenever I login, to check everyone's most recent updates. I am really enjoying catching up with old friends.

My sister, and brother however, do play the games on Facebook. The one thinks the other is addicted, but I wonder if they both aren't addicted. LOL At least they are having fun. That's all that matters!


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Nice to hear from you that your siblings are not addicted. Most of the people gets addicted the very next day, I am not in a exception list on that...

Getting old friends is really a nice experience and I too got my old friends on FB. Anyways.. happy seeing you here too,,,

Have a nice day...Cheersthumbup

my cousins and i are addicted to zynga poker. and now i can't stop playing poker! i would spend around 4-6 hrs just sitting in front of the computer,sweating it out, and hoping i'll win the round. i've read online that facebook addiction discorder is the new trend. lol. anyway, i'm trying to curb my so called addiction. i get restless when i can't log on to facebook. on the other hand,facebook certainly helped in keeping in touch with family and friends, especially relatives and friends who are overseas. i introduced my sister to facebook last month and she's thankful. she reconnected with her high school and college friends and they held a reunion just last week.

all i can say is, facebook is one of the best things that ever happened online!


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

What you've said is 100 percent true. It is once of the best thing happened online. As you said facebook addiction is common in all the parts of the planet esp ., in US and in India too... Better be awake before we get into some trouble from this addiction..

Have a nice day... Cheers... thumbup

Yes they are very addictive, have you tried Superhero City?

I'm on that one and Mafia Wars.

Yeah the cons is you might want to start spending money to advance faster, dont!


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Hi,

I have never tried that game and also never want to try. 'cause I 'm afraid that it may lead to another game addiction without my control.. lol

Spending money there is really a boost for the addiction. Some spend more money there to get into more levels. I never ever wanted to do that...

Cheers... have a nice day always... thumbup

Hello. I can't seem to get into Facebook, understand how it flows, nor make it work for me. I've joined several groups and have posted at almost all of them. Also I have one friend... I guess you have to have a lot of friends to make it work or something. I'm thinking this because of that communal posting that shows your friends' posts and your posts put together. I haven't seen the section that has games. I didn't know they were such a great feature.


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (644)   ranked 772 out of 15,255 in internet  2 months ago

Making friends in facebook is never a deal. Its as simple as possible. The application automatically suggests friends from the friends you knoe and from the friends you have made and it goes on... I have some around 80 friends in these 3 months of time in which more that 40 of my friends I never know.. They were mutual friends from the friends I know... just search on zynga games and you can get all in facebook... Don't get addicted...

Cheers... Have a nice day.... thumbup

Although I have facebook account, I don't use it a lot though. I only log in there to see my friend's comments, and not really spend whole lot of time there though. Instead, I want to use facebook to bring me more business. I still trying to find out how.

Business in Facebook?? Cool...Maybe I will find out how also, that would be great if we can have business there. I log in there as well to see my friends comments and what's going on with them..
