Facebook FarmVille hits 80 million users
Social gaming is big, very big. So big, in fact, that the most popular of all the games available on social networks, FarmVille, now boasts an incredible 80 million users every month, with 30 million of those playing on a daily basis. That’s a lot of pixelated characters doing pointless chores every day.
Anyone who has ever used Facebook cannot help but have come across FarmVille. It’s ever-present in your news stream if even one of your friends plays it. And with AppData revealing that 80 million of the 400 million Facebook users now plays FarmVille, the chances are more than one of your friends is addicted.
FarmVille is the most-used Facebook app of them all, and making its developer, Zynga, a lot of money by way of the sale of virtual goods. And its other offerings, Café World, FishVille, PetVille, and Mafia Wars are also popular. Which makes me shudder at the thought of where this will all end. How long until my Facebook news stream is full of nothing but social gaming updates?

Its indeed a shame so many people are so bored, boring, or just plain lazy that Farmville et al are the most activity in their lives. Get a life people, go outside and play! Or go to the mall and walk around. Just do ANyTHING that gets your butt ot of the chair and your eyeballs somewhere other than a computer screen.
