Well for me i do play on facebook especially zynga poker. I became really addicted to it that I do not care about how much time i gave my attention playing poker on zynga. Sometimes I forget to eat my meals and just stop for awhile when i hear my stomach sound and cry for a meal. Even my parents would scold me for spending too much time on it instead of doing some productive stuffs like cleaning the house or what so ever house hold chores. And I even reached to the point of downloading some bot stuffs to increase my money because I have been noticing quite some players that you would really say they are cheating because they always do all in all the time and they always win. And I felt so bad about it and get mad and get angry so i google bots or cheat codes but then I realized I do not want to be one of them so I stopped playing because I had 20M chips and lose it. Well i am not just blaming because of these cheaters but sometimes i really feel like I want to mess up with my chips and just have fun and lose it but it is sad that way. So i stopped playing and instead used the krytoi poker on facebook and I am having so much fun because even if you lose your chips they will give you free chips. But this is not as stable or as known as zynga texas hold em poker because it is still new and they are still making the application better for playing convenience. What about you? What do you mostly play on facebook?

The main reason I started using facebook is its applications and games. I was addicted to Mafia Wars then. Its really a simple game but addicting nonetheless. I've joined an All Filipino Mafia Wars Group and we are sort of a one big Mafia. I love the fights when there are wars. There are also contests. And the best part is eyeballing, which I haven't participated even once. :D But I'm no longer playing any games now. I grew tired of it. So I just use facebook to get some updates from my friends and family.

Thank you for your comment. Well, my main reason was not playing any games on facebook. It was my friends who wanted me to have an account to keep in touch especially to my college teachers who just post announcements in school or any activities that we will have instead of going to school and just ask for schedules and all that. So basically it really helps a lot, because of tagging purposes and notes stuffs. In my country it is really known here like more than 50 percent of teens must have had facebook account.

I think so. When I log in to facebook, games are the only ones that really consumes my time. I seldom chat, view profiles and send messages. I easily get bored with games so I change games once in a while. Currently, I am playing hotel city and mall world.

Thank you for your comment. Well, a few days ago i was really addicted playing zynga poker on facebook and giving much time on it. But i still chat with my friends, view their profiles especially friends who are migrating from other countries and still send messages to friends for updates and stuffs. I never change games because the only game i play constantly consecutively for those days was zynga poker. i had resturant city, mypet but i did not play them long time anymore. anyways, Enjoy myLots.

well, I do not use facebook for gaming purpose, I opened an account just to be in touch with old school and college friends and also ham radio friends. It is fun to be on facebook, Though I have used farmville and couple of applications, its kinda boring after some time... never got addicted to games or so...

Thank you for your comment. Yes I got you there. Well me too. I did not open facebook for gaming purposes. At first it was so hard to use and like i have been active on facebook for gaming and i just knew last month how to tag your photos and all that how to search things. It was so complicated. My main purpose was just to keep in touch with people close to me and it was so helpful during my college years because my intructors just post some announcements or activities, schedules then we do not have to drop by to school it saves a lot of energy and especially the public transportation. Anyways, Enjoy myLots.

I hardly ever play on Facebook... Sometimes I play with Farmville and Frontierville, but they are too boring after a short time. But I use lots of applications, many of them are nice, and can be entertaining. Sometimes I make applications and quizes as well.
All in all, Facebook games are designed for people who are on Facebook every day, and they have a lot of time. I'm not this type of people, so I don't play with these games. And when I have time, I play with more serious PC games, not on Facebook...

Yes! I play mousehunt, and ghost trappers. Its very fun especially when you look at your collections. lol I started playing those games last year and it has been a year I played those things. And recently, I also discovered that facebook isnt just about playing games, you can also use it to earn.

I don't use facebook for gaming purposes. For almost a year now no one from my friends would see me playing any games in FB. I just use FB to communicate with friends and have fun even by exchanging words. I don't play in there because I've heard that it would cost most of time since games were addictive.

I was a friendster user but i shifted to facebook because of the applications and games. I tried zynga poker but I always lose so I was not hooked into it. I currently play mousehunt, ghostrappers, and my empire. I chose this game because it doesn't eat up my time.. hehe.. unlike poker. Anyway, I hope there will be new exciting games in facebook.

This is a really good question. Facebook is becoming the largest site in the world, and I believe Zynga is making a fortune off of their games. I personally, do enjoy playing Farmville and Ninja Warz. They are easy to get to from any web-browsing device and good waste of time. Farmville is good to kick back and relax, and Ninja Warz is just downright fun!

I play lots of games in facebook before, especially Restaurant City. I was really addicted to it, and I even use cheats just to have the most awesome restaurant in the world. But after some months of gaming, I got tired of playing because I can't beat the number one in the world. Now, I am addicted to liking fanpages and wall posts.

I do not use Facebook for playing games or the applications that come with it. I do not find them interesting enough to spend my time playing them or using the applications to find stupid stuff about things that dont even matter. In stead I use it for the main purpose of connecting with my friends and family who are away from me. I use it to let people know about what I'm doing presently and it gives me immense pleasure when they interact with me.

I started using Facebook to connect with my old friends from highschool and college. Then I found out about games in Facebook, tried them out and got addicted. I played Vampire Wars, Country Story, Mousehunt and others. Eventually, I tried a lot of games just to test it out and see if I like those games. In the end, I got tired and concentrated with 2 games. Now, I just want to use it as a social tool and not for gaming.

Before I use Facebook to play games. I've been addicted to Farm Ville and Cafe World.
But when I discovered various earning opportunities online, I quit playing there. Now I use Facebook only to connect to my friends and see whats up to them.

However, i am rarely log in into my account again since i join MyLot because in facebook, you got nothing except fun. In MyLot, while i spend my time, i also get money :D
