Farmville Presents:

FarmVille, for those unaware, is an online game in which you “run” your own farm. It’s hot, Susannah said. Hot as Lady Gaga.

I went home and joined. Within minutes I was receiving messages on my Facebook page.
One “friend” warned me that FarmVille was addictive. Another said I’d “drunk the Kool-Aid.”

Within hours I received more than 100 FarmVille gifts, everything from plants to trees and cows. Complete strangers showed up, wanting to be my neighbor.
