I keep getting these gifts and invites and stuff, now that I have joined the masses and conformed to the latest (for me) social network. what's the difference? why would I want to spend time on a virtual farm one way or the other?

not being sarcastic. just wondering what is the draw for folks and any suggestions for one or ta other.

There is no need to choose, dear sir! When you mouse over such posts a dropdown will appear on the right side that includes the wonderful option, "hide [insert name of annoying application]". I was tempted to close my FB account due to the annoyance of scrolling through the literally dozens of posts and emails per day these silly games generate when I discovered this nice feature. Tis a much finer experience now.

oh, I use that feature, a LOT. I am still pretty new there, so still doing the hiding... The thing is, I might actually be interested in playing one of these. maybe.

They're both kind of like a virtual pet. Except it's a farm. You plant, harvest, rack up money, etc. My sis-in-law tried to get me into it when I visited them recently but it was way too time-consuming. She spent about 30 minutes a day on it just doing required maintenance.

ahhh - prolly too much fer me then. I post and comment now and again intermittently during the day, but don't' really spend much time there, and when I try to catch up with my family and church in the evenings, it takes time enough doing that.
