Best trivia I learned while working on this: 'Man, Farmville is so huge! Do you realize it's the second-biggest browser-based social-networking-centered farming game in the WORLD?' Then you wait for the listener to do a double-take.

The fact that Facebook is overshadowing Myspace at such a great extent is such a pleasure. I hated Myspace. Never made one, it was a retarded site that made me so pissed every time it was mentioned.

Facebook is not much better, but I at least consider it usable.

Porn is not social interaction. It is usually a lonely endeavor. L2Read

It's actually a Chinese IM program. :p There's quite a few of our little yellow friends over there so it pushes that site up a lot in the world rankings even if most people have never heard of it over here.

"Happy Farm is a massively multiplayer online game based on farm management, played predominantly by users in China and Taiwan, and is the most popular MMOG in terms of players"

Spoken language is an overall map, and the blown-up section is a portion of it. You all should really look at the massive version. Everything is legible ;)

Because social interaction is limited to mostly inanity as having a controversial opinion can get a person frozen.

So instead, lots of people just keep to themselves.

At least in Farmville, you can visit peoples' farms, and the FB chat client allows you to talk to them while you do so. Also you can say FUCK FACEBOOK.
