food for thought...

Hey Everybody! Merry Happy ChristHanukKwanzaaSolsticeMas! Or uhm...just have a nice day!
Anyways just finished reading this and wanted to share. Kinda relatively long reading tho...

Actually someone may have posted this earlier. If so my apologies.

AH! aaand Apologies to Satoshi! I stole it off his FB page. Still, very interesting and wanted to pass it on here.

There's a slightly more coherent version of this story here, in the form of a review of The Sims Social. Fascinating, terrifying reading.

The idea of using money to perform better in a social game is horrible to me... When I found that you could essentially buy performance in Zynga's Words with Friends and Hanging with Friends, it made me A) Lose interest in the many games I was playing and B) Buy some of their stock.

I've never played the games on FB. They looked like trouble from the get-go. It was nice to read this and confirm my suspicions.
Had an issue with the reading interface and the way it was written, but yeah, lots of meat on this bone!
