Sorry Zynga, I Don't Like Your Game Bar...IT'S SPYWARE!

Some people are using Zynga's game bar. They don't know that it can access your emails. See the picture below: (Click to enlarge)
I get requests to install this feature, which to me, is SPYWARE. People don't know. Do you read every agreement when you install software? Actually you should.

Anyway, to get rid of this request, if someone keeps sending it to you, you can click on the "x" (in Firefox) and select "Ignore all requests from [Person's Name]?" Select "yes". (Click to enlarge)

When I Turn 100 on Farmville

 (Click to enlarge)
Soon, I will reach level 100 in Farmville. I do not know if this will be a big event as far as what happens but I figured I will videotape it so you can see what happens. I have been saving a ton of fireworks for this event, which will be set off after I reach 100. Thank God it's not 100 in real life, eh? So come back to this link and check out the video that I will post soom!

Useless Stuff We Can Do Without

We can now build a Crafting Silo. So you think you can craft Love Potions in your Craft Shop and a Fertilize All in your Crafting Silo? NOT! Now we need two buildings to craft one product. AND Zynga makes it more difficult...we have to now get a Cherry Basket to make a Love Potiron instead of getting Red Tulips from your neighbors.

Why can't we keep the Craft Shop as it is? You can use the crops to craft items and then introduce new items to craft in the Crafting Silo. Now we have two buildings to do the same thing! Does not make any sense. Their creative department, or whatever department thinks of these, was half asleep when they thought of this one.

Does anyone like having to have two buildings on their farm to make the same item? If you have started a Fuel Can, for example, in your Crafting Silo, you cannot start a Love Potion in your Craft Shop.  This is so ridiculous!

What do you think of the new Trading Post? I thought I could preorder Habanero Chilis to use to master the crop while I was plowing Habanero Chilis. But that would be too easy. No, we have to click on orders to help us master the crop. Too much clicking. I would just rather master them by using the crop in the Farmers Market Stall. Then I have to click on all of the orders that I get. To me, the Trading Post is an exercise in clicking.

I would rather Zynga get the bugs out of the one-click posting than produce items that make us do more useless clicking.

I am going to have to think of some really cool ideas on what Zynga could do to keep the excitement going for the game. Allowing us to stable stuff is a great idea as well as the colorful sheep and pig breeding. The duck pond is cute. Let's put our heads together and think of some great ideas.

The people at Zynga are watching this site so let's create a stir like we did when we complained about the slow release of the Craft Shop. Remember how we were getting 100 Love Potions from their Customer Service Department as a result of our complaints until they got so many complaints, they finally released it? I have alerted quite a few of their Customer Service reps of this site by sending them links to this site. Apparently my viewership in the cities where Zynga has offices has grown EXPONENTIALLY!!! According to my Google Analytics, ZYNGA IS WATCHING WHAT WE SAY HERE! So now is the time to get what you want and to be really creative and submit your ideas as a post to this site. You can post anonymously, so you don't have to create a Google account to post. Of course, I moderate the comments before posting them. I cannot accept "add me" requests in my posts. I have to keep my links safe from viruses and malware for my readers.
