What is Facebook FarmVille Zynga?

It’s an online game, played by over 70 million members of Facebook, which allows participants to maintain their own virtual farm. Players may plant trees, grow virtual crop, harvest flowers, and take care of their livestock. The ultimate goal is to build better farms and earn prestige in the farming community.

Although, I just recently started playing FarmVille, my research shows me that it’s the most popular application in Facebook history. Who knew that so many people had a secret desire to become farmers?

Another attraction of FarmVille is that it touches the Humanitarian side of folks. By this I mean that you can be a “Good Samaritan” and help your neighbors or friends by giving gifts of trees and livestock. You can also celebrate someone else’s achievements of earning ribbons. Earning ribbons are crucial because FarmVille rewards you with virtual money.

My impression of the Facebook FarmVille game is that it motivates you to develop and utilize your people skills. It challenges the mind, relieves boredom, and provides yet another avenue of interacting with friends and family. Plus it’s just plain fun!

The top 5 things I’ve learned from reviewing the Facebook FarmVille game are:

The Crunchies Award. Facebook FarmVille Zynga received the prestigious Crunchies Award. This was presented to FarmVille for being the best social application of 2009. The FarmVille folks didn’t hoard this award or forget about those who helped them achieve this honor. Instead they shared the wealth with the millions of people who play FarmVille. Each player received a virtual Crunchie Award statue in their gift box.

I would be remiss if I failed to mention that Facebook won the Crunchie Award for the category of Best Overall Startup or Product for 2009. Facebook is the largest social network and has over 350 million users.

Zynga’s Relief Fund for Haiti. FarmVille found an easy way for the FarmVille players to contribute funds to the Haiti’s disaster. When a farmer buys White Corn 100% of the proceeds go to the Haiti Relief Fund. This contribution is sent directly to those suffering from the Haiti earthquake.

FarmVille Forum. There’s plenty of support in the Zynga Community Forum. If you run into an obstacle and require someone else’s expertise at solving the problem, there’s lots of resources. The Forum Moderators, Zynga Staff Members, and other FarmVille farmers are glad to pitch in and provide advice.

Youtube Videos. You could peruse youtube.com for videos about FarmVille. I found one which I feel provides great information. It’s called “Do You FarmVille? Addictive Social Facebook Flash Game” This video was created by Duncan Maile or “DuncanM.” Duncan also followed up with more detailed instructions on his website. Just click here to view Duncan’s site: Duncan’s farmville-tips-to-level-up quickly.

E-Books. There’s also a plethora of ebooks with tips and secrets for FarmVille lovers. One that I sell is the Official FarmVille guide called“How to Become a FarmVille Expert. “ It has up to date tips and tricks for teaching you to become a FarmVille superstart. I’m an Affiliate which means I do receive commissions when someone buys this guide from me.

There is a down side to FarmVille. Not everyone wants to play the game. In fact some Facebook members get quite annoyed when the FarmVille updates over shadow their Live News Feeds. For those who find themselves in this category help is on the way. You have the option to prevent FarmVille updates to your Live News Feed or “Hide” them.

If you want to prevent Facebook FarmVille Zynga applications, click on “Settings”, then“Application Settings.” After clicking here you should see FarmVille. Click on “Edit Settings” followed by the “Additional Permissions” tab. Remove the checkmark from the box. Going forward all of the FarmVille farmers will no longer touch your Facebook real estate…so to speak.

Alternatively, you may wait until a FarmVille update appears in your Live News Feed. At that time, simply click on the “Hide” tab that’s located on the top right side of your friend’s comments. By following these instructions you will have successfully prevented further FarmVille updates.

Facebook FarmVille Zynga can be lots of fun. Over 70 million people find it fascinating and I recommend it too. It’s not for everyone, but why not give it a try and make the decision for yourself.

Hey guys, have you heard about “My World Plus?” It’s all about helping the common folk save money in this tough economy. And it’s so easy. All anyone has to do is just shop online or use their membership discount card, or coupons when going to a movie, traveling, buying fast food or groceries.

This isn’t like most offers you see online where the promoter just wants to line their pockets with your hard earned cash. In fact, I recommend that you only spend money on the items you would normally buy, just remember to use your coupon or discount card.

If you enjoy shopping at stores, such as Target, PetSmart, Gap, Starbucks, AMC Theaters, Lowes, and hundreds of others, you owe it to yourself to check this out. There’s over 600 online stores and over 175,000 retailers worldwide in which to choose.

Are you a little short on funds? Is there too much month left at the end of the money? In addition to shopping discounts, MyWorldPlus also provides an opportunity to earn money from home. Soon your bank account will have a positive cash flow again.

The best part is you can watch your income explode quickly. Don’t take my word for it. Research it at here or watch my short video.

Try it out, take it for a test drive and kick the tires. If it looks like something that would benefit you and your family, go for it. You don’t have to join today, but if you do you can start saving money immediately.

Those who wait may end up making money for you because they hesitated. Just think of all of those people who had the opportunity to be in on the ground floor of Google, Yahoo or Microsoft, but failed to see the big picture.

Well, you can’t change history, but you are in control of the here and now. Earning cash rebates by simply shopping online at MyWorldPlus can relieve your financial stress, help you put your kids through college, take extra vacations, or simply put food on the table.

If you have ever bought or thought about buying travel, flowers, electronics, sporting events, gift baskets, clothing, Christmas presents or birthday gifts online, why not do it thru MyWorldPlus and watch your income explode quickly.
