Have you heard about the Trojan Horse Facebook Debtor Scam? It seems “beautiful young women” with unprotected profiles and hot bodies are being invented by collection agencies to lure male debtors with false promises of sexual services if they “add them as a friend.”
If you’re looking for a terrific game to play online — in addition to Pet Society — then let me humbly suggest to you: Farm Town. You will be stunned by the gameplay and addicted to the gamesmanship in a matter of moments once the colorful logo greets your eye and your fertile farmland loads waiting for your aesthetic touch and business brilliance.
After my wife’s insulting debacle with the creeps at Slide.com and SuperPoke Pets, I was looking for an online play replacement, and I was delighted to discover Pet Society on Facebook!
I read something interesting somewhere the other day and the simple, arresting, argument was this: “The memoir-as-a-book as we know it is dead.”
We knew it was coming: Social Networking makes us stupider; and the current culprit is Facebook.
Facebook user GPAs
were in the 3.0 to 3.5 range on average, compared to 3.5 to 4.0 for
non-users. Facebook users also studied anywhere from one to five hours
per week, compared to non-users who studied 11 to 15 or more hours per
week.
UPDATE April 23, 2009: After getting an inappropriate comment on this article
from Slide this morning, my wife and I have decided to no longer play. We’re through. Any links to our SuperPoke Pets sites are no longer active
and should be considered dead. Why should we pay for that sort of
attitude from a company? We’re voting with our billfold and the answer
is, “No thank you.”
Few of us know the value of a dollar other than we can make purchases in the real world with money that is given worth based on a common exchange of economic agreements. What, then, is the value of a Gold Dollar? If you play Slide.com’s SuperPoke Pets, you know the game isn’t any fun any longer unless you use your real world dollars to buy Slide Virtual Gold. In the images of my pet’s habits below, the animated things cost Gold while the Superheroes were “purchased” with earned “coins.”
If you aren’t yet on FriendFeed — you should be — because that social networking site gets everything right in the proper way.
