On Facebook, FarmVille is the top game this year with over 26 Million active users, 3 times biggest than the second most active, Cafe World.
Last December, I asked readers how long they’d think Facebook becomes old, and a lot of the responses points to the games as a major attracting feature. No wonder Zynga keeps on buying Facebook App Development companies out there.
Since FarmVille is the largest random sampling for Facebook activity, we can somewhat use it as a yardstick to monitor the trend of usage on the social networking site.
If that 26 Million daily active users keep on growing or if a new game emerges and surpasses that number, then the growth is still moving up. With over 8 million Facebook users accounts from the Philippines, we could be seeing a plateau really soon (this was in the vicinity of the number of Friendster users when it also plateaued). Nevertheless, telcos will continue to feel the pain of losing millions of pesos due to shifting communication channels (FB messages over SMS).
So, going back to the question — Are you still addicted to FarmVille? I stopped tending to my farm like months ago.
I’m not addicted to FarmVille because I don’t have a Facebook account.
Facebook only makes your world smaller and makes you visible to an otherwise invisible and uncaring world of the internet. Drop the FB accounts and go back to being normal again.
Sandali lang yan. Cheats = autoclicker = win. No wasted time.
And social networks don’t make us abnormal, as long as you don’t 24/7 it.
haha kakaadik kaya kasi kakaumpisa ko p lang!!
kaya ako nagsawa eh kasi parati ka click ng click!
Para di ka mapagod gamit ka nito..

[...] the breakup does happen, users will have to choose between Facebook and Farmville (not really, actually, since users can still go to both but that would mean less time spent on FB). [...]
What a interesting post my friend. I am a facebook fan and mostly spend my time playing some games and just talking out with my friends. Surely, there are so many ways we can use facebook and I really love using it. I hope they have something more new to come for all of us.
On the topic of FB… this girl put up a site with awesome Facebook statuses… some of em are surprisingly good haha
Farm ville’s addicting because when you start playing, you wouldn’t want to wither your plants.
