I have always resisted the urge to engage in mindless social networkign posts. I appreciate Twitter and I realize how useful and powerful it can be, but I'm not sure I need to know wheat my friends are having for lunch. I'm definitely sure I'm not going to take the time to type about what I'm eating.
Any yet... i have somehow gotten pulled into Farmville on Facebook. I don't even like it. I accepted the app so that my friends 11 year old son could have more "neighbors." It seemed harmless at the time. Now I have sheep and chickens and crops to take care of. I know that they're just pixels on a screen but I somehow feel obligated to take care of them.
It's confusing and not just a little disturbing. I'm still wondering how this happened. but I can''t spend too much time on it, I have to go take care of my sheep.

I;ve been getting a lot of these farmville requests too. So far I have resisted the temptation to join! I guess its one of those apps that make you waste a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteI'm still worried though - I'm the guy who likes to try new things and may easily get sucked into farmville - so watch out; I could be your new neighbour!
Spending time in twitter and facebook are useless when there is sheep and chickens to maintain and take care. Do this for your interest. So it must be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAll these social networking sites are meant just for entertainment but not for earning purpose. So take care of your sheep.
