And what is “Farmville” and WHY am I getting dozens of requests every day to join it?
You can block those requests. I use fb simply because all my relatives live in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, etc. and it is a great way to stay in touch with them.
It is an addictive fantasy game where people who have never seen a farm pretend to work on one. They get up at 5:00 to milk the cows, etc., and a variety of surprises await the true addict.
" A poor lost cow is wandering around Farmville."
"Oh, Poor Lost Cow, why are you crying?"
" Moo! *sob* Nobody will give me their Credit Card Numbers or Banking Passwords!....Will YOU be my FRIEND?"
I have otherwise intelligent friends who have become shut-ins and social cripples over this nonsense.
