How Twitter Is Like FarmVille

Twitter Can Be The Opposite of FarmVille 

I've got some friends who seem to be playing FarmVille way too much.  Their facebook wall is full of FarmVille announcements.  Their photo album full of Farmville screenshots.  Wayyyyy too much FarmVille.  If you love farmville, feel free to skip this. We probably all have one or more friends who compromise their professional reputation to the lure that is FarmVille. Sure, they may tell us it's their kids playing on their facebook account, but I'm not convinced.

This phenomenon got me thinking about how real time information can change or enhance an established impression of an individual. [...Click Here To Read The Rest On IdeaBox]

Jason, That Farmvilled stuff TOTALLY baffles me.  I see my professional friends playing and I'll be honest I just shake my head!

I turned farmville off and quash the updates anyone sends about thier farmville antics.  I just feel like there are important things I'm neglecting which should get my attention first.  Farmville rates so low on my list, it doesn't even make the list.

It is a lot of fun and a great way to connect with people all over the world in a very unique way.  I don't overdo the publishing of every event... I wish they would fix it so we could publish only to our FV friends.  It is a good stress releiver.

It is very addictive for some people. I always wonder, how they can find time to do that? Do they even work?

I have never seen it and at this point do not know if I will.  I just do not have the time to add any potential distractions to my current schedule. ~ Doug

Marchel - I feel the same way!

Drick - So did I, but some of the updates still sneak through.  At least I don't have it on my wall now though.

Joan - The voice of FarmVille!  I knew it had to be fun for so many people to be playing.  It's just that when I see all those updates all day long, I know my friends are playing instead of working.  They have jobs and are supposed to be working.  I guess that just doesn't sit well with me.

Irina - I have the same questions.  Thanks for commenting!

Doug - A lot of us feel that way.  Thanks for sharing!

Like Irina said, "Where do they find the time?"
