Are you into FaceBook?

We all know that FaceBook is flooded with countless options of web games and mental tests and my buddies on FaceBook seem never stop playing them. In addition, FarmVille is so popular that even news and newspapers have reports about it. It has become an "everybody game" as it seems.

The games and tests are popular, fun and even addictive. People are willing to get up at 6 am only to steal vegetables from others' farms. Nonetheless, I don't think that's the initial purpose of FaceBook.

Isn't Facebook the platform for people and old friends to connect together? I add many people into my FaceBook friends list who are my classmates and friends. I joined FaceBook, only wanting to read their usual murmurs, care about how they feel, know how they've been even we've already separated into different domains of life.

The reality is, they're playing games and tests instead of leaving messages. The "wall" of FaceBook is always spammed with the results of their games and tests.

When i just joined FaceBook, I was intrigued by the games and tests as well, but after some time, I found them a bore to a fair-thee-well.

Right now I've already stopped playing the games and tests, and gave up expecting messages on the "wall". I've turned to Plurk, which is message only just like Twitter, so I can be in touch with buddies on Plurk.

The rare ones who leave messages on FaceBook will still catch my attention.
