Last century's cash crops included tobacco, cotton, and sugar cane. Now we have magic cauliflower and super berries, too--and even though they can't be sold at market, some people still toil from dawn to dusk cultivating them.
People spend not just real time but also real money growing these crops in virtual farming games that combine the allure of both games and social networking in what is usually a cute and deceptively simple package. They can be addictive: many users come back at least once a day to micromanage their famrs and deal with other users' requests.
At its peak, Farmville had 84 million monthly (according to App Data) users, but it now draws 53.9 million users per month, and falling, one indication the social games have seen better days.
The security company Sunbelt warns of games like Farmville beeing used to collect email addresses and passwords from Facebook users.

Yesterday morning, Jenny quit her job with a (flash)bang by emailing these photos to the entire office, about 20 employees we're told. Awesome doesn't begin to describe this office heroine."
She goes from spelling it HOPA, HOPA HOPA, to HPOA. Noticed she switched the O & P around. I think this is just a internet joke/scam.
