Facebook has become a global phenomenon and it is probably now the largest online gaming site on the internet. There are no public stats available supporting this, but you can make a few calculated deductions from the public figures out there. There are about 500 million users registered on Facebook. Out of these around three quarters of them play at least one game on a regular basis.
Facebook was intended to be a social networking site, and it still is one. But a lot of people are increasingly using it only for gaming and other fun activities instead of socializing. The only Facebook users who are using the site for networking are those who access the site through their mobile phones (most apps won’t work on standard phones). What does this mean for the average Facebook user? Most of us don’t think twice before giving these apps access to our profile information. These app developers get every update of our lives even though they aren’t officially our friends. This is a bit dangerous, because not all app developers are exactly…nice!
With a virtual population of over 500 million users, Facebook has grown to the size of a very large country. The citizens share many common digital interests. They enjoy chatting, gaming, listening to music and staying up to date with everything online. Facebook allows everyone the opportunity to come together and enjoy things together. People however have a tendency to over-share on Facebook. This results in a lot more information becoming available to a global audience that you would want everyone to know.
Just a few years ago, Facebook was in the second or third position of the leading social networking sites. But thanks to these addictive games/apps, it rose to the top position. This is an unspoken fact. Most people attribute Facebook’s success to its networking features. But the online gaming capabilities that Facebook offers can’t be matched by any other gaming portal.
Online gaming sure is fun, and it is all the more fun when you’re playing with your friends. Tilling a farm or shooting down a few gangsters sounds like a good idea for fun. But make sure that you don’t get too addicted to chasing games like these. One wrong click, one wrong app, and the developer could play with your information in ways unimaginable. So do remember to watch out when you’re busy plowing your field or reloading your gun!
You play many mobile games like bricks breaking 2 without ever having to worry about your information.
