Will you soon be able to play FarmVille on your cellphone?

Thu ,25/02/2010

As if FarmVille wasn’t already addicting enough, we are steps closer to being able to play on our cellphones.

Smartphones are smart, but still lacking features that would enable farmers to tend to their farms on the go via cellphone. One reason that prevents us from playing Flash driven games like FarmVille on our cellphones is because current smartphones cannot fully support Flash content.

The alpha testing models of Android smartphones, as featured in the video below, have capability of playing FarmVille. It is hopeful that future Droid models will be able to smoothly run games like FarmVille.

FarmVille Freak Techie: Gifting Changes Explained

Mon ,22/02/2010

Recently FarmVille Freak mentioned the FarmVille gifting changes taking place. The changes will implement a new system that affects the ways in which we receive gifts, request neighbors, and invite friends. In the future, we will use our emails to accept these gifts and requests. Many FarmVille Freaks have expressed concern about unwanted excessive email overload. Why is this change necessary?

Facebook Pushing FarmVille Forward? Or Back?

The FaceBook Developer Roadmap dictates that all applications will adhere to this method. FarmVille Freak FarmerJones explains below:

Its not just FarmVille that is moving everything to emails…

Haven’t you noticed in all of your apps its asking you to share your email now at the top of the page? The little power bars at the top promising you to be a great player if you complete? and the last step is giving your email usually?

Facebook has given them a certain amount of time to make these changes …..

ALL APPS will be in emails.

Its part of the new changes that are taking affect(effect?) affect lol

Facebook changing it’s layout is only the beginning of many other changes to come.

ANYWAYS – it’s the first change listed on this page http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Developer_Roadmap

It says “Application-to-user and user-to-user notifications will be removed, and instead developers will use stream, Inbox, and Email. ”

DATED FOR “Monday, March 1, 2010. (30 days after launch of email permission.)”
