Facebook Games
Facebook is a worldwide social network in which people all around the world socialize with one another. Not only do people log on to Facebook to tell all of their business they also log on to play the free online social games and playing games on Facebook can be addictive. In other words, people sit up all night playing these games and those that have no jobs sit up all day playing them. They somehow forget that there is a real world and that they are a part of the real world. One must remember that games are just animation and a figment of ones imagination and that real life is real life. Although Facebook has hundreds of games to play over one million people log on every day to play them. However, just to name a few, the most popular games played on Facebook are Cityville, Castleville, Chefville, and Farmville 2. These games are also associated with a web site called Zynga.com. Zynga.com allows players to play with people all over the world.
For instance, Cityville is a game that lets the players create and run their own city. Players have to build their city from the ground up. They have to plan where they want to build their houses, put down their streets, where they want to build their businesses, parks, public works, and their schools. The players can collect rent, shop, and visit their online friends and have their friends visit them. In addition to completing the building process of their businesses, they have to ask their friends to work in them and they have to accept. Next is castleville, although castleville is a little similar to Cityville it involves players building their own kingdom from the ground up. Players have to build their castle and expand their kingdom by building cottages, barracks, and all the royal buildings. Players can also expand their kingdom by harvesting crops, tending to animals, cooking foods and crafting materials. Again, players have to collect rent and have their online friends to come work in their royal

    Taken in the narrowest possible sense of social gaming on Facebook, the answer is no. Zynga has more users than all of their nearest competitors, and more users than the rest of the top 10 developers on Facebook combined. Barring any massive systemic disruptions to the platform, Zynga's dominant position and the accompanying network effects are likely to ensure they stay there for years to come.…

    The life of an average teenager is filled with excitement, curiosity, love, and the constant addiction into the world of social networking. Teenagers seem to have this double life when interacting with different social networking sites. From Facebook to Twitter to online games and game systems, teens are overloaded with several options to stay connected with their friends. Average teenagers are constantly updating their status, playing against other users on online games, tweeting their favorite quote, or using up all their allowance money on a game system that they will use to challenge a friend. The use of social networking sites are growing intensely across the United States and the world. Teenagers would not be wrong when they say “I have friends all over the world.” It just proves how fast a teen can make connections with a click of a button. According to Pew Research Center, “73 percent of teenagers in the United States are members of some type social networking community” (Lenhart, et al., 2010). Teenagers between the ages of 12-17, are where social networking hits the hardest. In this digital world teens are bombarded with vast amount of technology that will one day reach a point where it will be too much to handle. The negative effects of social networking on an average teenage life appear through their education, health, and private life.…

    I think that the applications Facebook has running are made from private advertisers that create these games and let users play them for free. The only reason we do not have to pay for these games is because when the game is being played an advertisement pops up that is paying for the whole page to run. Companies check our profiles through these games to see what kind of advertisements would appeal to the user. Their goal is to get us to buy whatever they are advertising and will use any trick to get that done.…
