Dati, Yahoo mail, naging Yahoo Messenger, naging Skype, at nang lumaon, naging Cam Frog. Tapos nauso ang blogging na sinundan naman ng Friendster, na nung lumaon ay naungusan ng Twitter at My Space. Pero, sa ngayon, may isang virtual society na lalo pang sumisikat sa mga pangalan na nauna sa kanya. Ano nga ba ang nawawala sa mga ibinigay kong pangalan sa taas? Kung mapapansin nyo, tama, Facebook. Isa sa mga pinakasikat na virtual society hindi lamang sa bansa, kung hindi sa buong mundo na rin.
Pero, ano nga ba ang Facebook, ano ba ang website na ito na pinagkakaguluhan sa ngayon, na pati na ang mga lalaki, babae, bakla o tomboy, matanda man, teen-ager o bata, may ngipin o wala ay nahuhumaling?
Ayon sa Wikipedia, "Facebook is a global social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students get to know each other better." O ayan ha, copy-paste pa yan.
Ngayon, alam na natin kung ano ang Facebook, subalit, ngunit, datapwat, mayroong isang bahagi o feature ang Facebook na nakakahatak talaga ng mga members, bukod sa pagiging parang Friendster na pinaganda lang. There are tons of applications in this website that can be used by their members. One of this is a game that goes with the name of "Farm Ville".
For those who doesn't know what Farm Ville is, again, from the database of Wikipedia, "Farm Ville is a Facebook video game developed by Zynga. It allows members of Facebook to plant, grow, and harvest virtual crops and trees, and raise livestock."
This game, is so in demand these days, even in our school, the computers that are made to be used as educational and reference tools, are made gaming platforms by the students. Funny? Yes! Very funny actually. Supposedly, those computers are there for research purposes, and yet, the moment a student opens his/her Facebook account, and browse through his/her applications' toolbar, these computers instantly becomes a true gaming platform with the help of its programs and the internet.
Just earlier this day, about, 3 to 4 PM, my friend brought his laptop computer to type a report for his subject, but, knowing that there is signal in the room where we are making "tambay". He booted his computer, opened his internet browser and surfed to Facebook's portal. But, to his dismay, the signal of the wireless router is too weak for him to be even logged on to Facebook. So, instead of enjoying his farm in this game, he enjoyed complaining about the wireless router's crappy signal.
Even my friend who believes that Facebook is just for girly girls, joined the social network and instantly enjoyed playing Farm Ville. And maybe, just maybe, as I am here in front of my computer making this entry, maybe he's in his room harvesting the crops that he planted on his virtual farm.
Maybe it doesn't hurt to try a different game every now and then. Even if it is a bit girly at first, but, even we enjoyed it, maybe you will enjoy it as much as we do, maybe even greater.
So, Farm Ville mania?
YES!
FARM VILLE PAAAAA!!!!
