FarmVille is a real time farm simulation game developed by Zynga, available as an application on one of the social networking websites, Facebook. The game allows members of facebook to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops and trees, and raising livestock. Since its started in June 2009, FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook, with over 82 million facebook users and over 23 million fans in March 2010. The total FarmVille users are over 20% of the users of Facebook and over 1% of the population of the world. Despite this, Farmville is still classed by Zynga as being in Beta testing stage, with "all of their players currently considered Testers." They state that, "Things will go wrong. Bugs will occur." FarmVille started as a clone of the popular Farm Town on Facebook, and is now used on many other social networking websites.

Twitter

What Is http://twitter.com/?

Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 Charactors displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Since late 2009, users can follow lists of authors instead of following individual authors. All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS), or external applications (notably including those developed for smartphone). While the service itself costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees. The website currently has more than 100 million active users worldwide.Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as "SMS of the internet." The use of Twitter's application programming interface for sending and receiving textmessages by other applications often eclipses direct use of Twitter.
