Sooner or later we are faced with the Face Book dilemma.....yeah I know it's " where the party is ". We have become bombarded with reworded comments of....I'm tired, I'm sick, I'm bored and games games and more games.We smile as we discover every hidden personality quirks our face book friends have. Alas ..it's fun...and the explosion of Facebook has hit everyone ...old and young alike.
What a FREE OPPORTUNITY to increase your sphere of influence and make a huge difference as an agent in the market place. There are tutorials, videos, webinars, camps,...you name it ...the information hot line is a blazing.... ...many of these gifted trainers and speakers are from our camp ground on Active Rain. They selflessly share their expertise, to seekers who thirst for the how to's.....Applause to these giving mentors.
..Facebook has become a real part of our life....but.....are we ready for the ritualistic involvement of gaming that could turns into an addiction?
Has Facebook become the future platform for gaming. Why not?
It's big business generating millions of dollars.
Does it work for us as professionals? The conversation among agents seem divided.
Maybe there are a few questions to ask ourselves before we venture into the game land arena.
- Is game playing a tricky move and could hurt my business?
- If l refuse a request from a Farmville fan, will it cause hurt feelings and therefore hinder the rapport between " "FRIENDS "? Alas..refuse one request ..accept another?
- Could this game playing be a bad business move or just an enduring moment spent between friends?
- Is this game playing a positive or negative role within my family, among my friends and in the workplace?
- What am I telling " my friends and my fans " how I spend my time?
- Could this be an addition I need not enter into?
- Does this make me less professional?
Think maybe these aren't important questions to ponder.?.......
Here are some staggering statistics to really think about.
444,000,000 people have searched Face book games on Google.
Farmville - Number 1 most played game has 72 million active users monthly
Mafia Wars- Number 2 most played game 27 million active users monthly.
Happy Aquarius...27 million ( fastest growing )Pet society 21 million.
Texas Holdem Poker 20 million
and the list goes on and on...........
Has this and will this take us to the edge of now..where?
or
Do these games leverage our value as professionals that offer service to our consumers, even if it is helping them farm on farmville?
