It is estimated that 500 Million human beings play Facebook Games. Castleville, Farmville, Backyard Monsters, etc. Five minutes ago, I noticed that 6,713,710 people like Castleville. The likes seem to be ticking up by the million every week. I have 500 new Facebook friend requests in my Facebook add list because of my last blog post about Castleville.
Did I mention that I wrote it last week?!
Give people something that they want. Give it to them right now when they want it!
And, maybe, they will also discover you have interesting things to say.
About life, love, blogging, friendship, money, corruption, a broken marriage, a hero, Darth AOL, PHP, online strategy, or whatever. [laughing]
Oh – did I mention that there ain’t twenty million or more… people and bots blogging and tweeting about Facebook games. Blogs about Facebook games are more likely to give meaningful answers – unlike all that kitsch that is pumped out for subjects like blogging, social media, seo, online marketing, and small-time online entrepreneurship?
That reminds me of what my friend Bill Dorman is saying:
Life is like a jar of Jalapeno peppers – what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
That’s the social media cheat. And it’s as trivial as it is epic. Did I say, cheat? Err, it’s a boon and a take away.
Other blog posts (by me) that people love:
Rapper Tupac Shakur rises from the dead and wows Coachella 2012 and the world
The Final Speech of the Great Dictator by Sir Charles Chaplin
Science suggests that RTs, #FFs, Comments, Links, Etc. Are Highly Intelligent Behaviors!

Beatles, All You Need Is Love

Did we move mountains?
Protect IP/SOPA is settled, right? I mean like blocked, chop suey, or plugged out. Has the internet been saved?
Well done!
No?
Isn’t it strange how every political solution ever poses considerable new threat to human freedom, dignity, and happiness?

1. the things at the end of your arms [sic] by Jane Furey
Writes Jane:
When I am a child my hands want to be held. I use my hands for requests. Raised above my head means ‘up’, lift me up so I can see, your face, what you are looking at…
Lift me up and hold me tight, I need comfort. I need to know you love me. Keep me safe. Give me, food, water, a toy, a smile. Read the rest of this entry »
