FarmVille 2 comes to Facebook

Posted on September 27, 2012 by fblogin

If you have a Facebook Account chances are that you know what FarmVille is, actually doesn’t matter if you like the game or you hate it, with all the notifications and some of your friends spamming your timeline it’s very hard for anyone to not know what FarmVille is and now Zynga is launching a sequel for one of it’s most successful games. According to statistics, there are people that only have a FB login in order to play games and doesn’t even have friends or info in his Facebook Profile.

Farmville 2 aims to be a bigger game than its predecessor, better graphics and more things to click but with the same core concept of doing simple task in the game through the day in order to keep a good flow of resources and that your farm works.

The sequel even have 3D graphics to change what it was in terms of visuals and it now offers collaborations among farmers to achieve more than what you can do on your own.

This seems to me like an attempt to revive what FarmVille was, I have to say that I’m not a big fan of casual games, I like games that are more than just a way to spend time but there’s no doubt that Zynga’s FarmVille was a major success and for some time, it got a ridiculous big amount of users.

The trend continues towards social games because social networks keep getting larger and larger and every year the amount of smartphones and tablets sold will be on the rise, so even when a game doesn’t appeal to a big percentage of the market, it can be very profitable. However, as casual games are easier to develop, it is very plausible that in the near future, Zynga will face a lot of competition not only from bigger companies but also from the indie game developer community.

We already see that some of the major gaming studios like Ubisoft or EA are noticing how they can try to chew a piece of the mobile and casual gaming market without risking too much.

So yea, eventually, there will be more spam about games you don’t know in your Facebook Profile, as a gamer myself, I hate to see that some big studios closed this year and in the meanwhile casual games are making a lot of money but that’s just the way it is.

FB Login: A Few Advices To Keep Your Facebook Account Secure

While the best thing you can do, to ensure that your Facebook Account remains secure is… to avoid login into Facebook in any computer that doesn’t belong to you, I’m gonna give you some essential tips in case that for some reason you must log in into Facebook for an emergency or on a daily basis.

1.- If you are gonna be using a new computer at work and it runs on Windows, you should install an antivirus or anti-spyware so you can add an extra layer of security. There are malicious software that can be programmed even by teens and that when you type the Facebook url it switches to another website with the same layout in order to steal your Facebook Account, so always check the url before entering your FB Login credentials.

2.- If at any given time, you see something on your Facebook Profile that looks like advertising and that you didn’t post it, it’s probably because some Facebook App is using your account to spam your friends. How is that possible? Well, everytime you try to use a new Facebook App it requieres that you give some kind of access to your profile so that the App can retrieve information and use it, but there are thousands of apps created everyday so you should only trust the ones that are created by companies or developers you know or you read about in a reputable website.

3.- Never give access to a Facebook App that “tells you who checks your profile”, that is impossible, there’s no way that someone can retrieve that data from the Facebook API so all apps that claim otherwise are scams.

And that’s it for now, hopefully we will keep talking about the security in the FB Login and daily usage since there’s a lot more to cover about this topic.

If we want to re-appear on facebook chat, do the reverse. Also our facebook account, shows the contacts to send messages, but also shows offline chat to others who are with you we chat often. Also in FB Login, have the option to search the contacts directly to quickly send a message through the chat, this is the facebook search for chat. We look for the name of the person you want to send the message, and when you connect that person can view the message. One of the innovations of facebook account is that we can see if the person who is sending the messages display the time which read that message. ”Seen 12:40 PM”

What are emoticons? What types of functions can be?

The emoticons are shown through different states of “faces” provided the person you’re chatting. It really is very useful for example when there is a board and you want the message to be very aggressive showing a face so or for example if we are sad :( or if you are confused or do not know what to think :/ Tilting your head to the left we can interpret each message.
