Applications I've found are rather insidious. They start out small. A friend forwards a quiz, invites you to play a game or you catch a good looking graphic in an activity feed. Pretty soon at least one of those games is going to get you hooked. For me it's a toss up between Vampire Wars and Mafia Wars. Just when I'm satisfied with my character's skill or maybe even a little bored, a new level or rare item is added. Of course, bonuses are often offered to my fellow gaming friends but only if I post them on my wall. This is great except now my non-gaming friends have all my game related posting cluttering up their feed.
I find myself quite often passing up these bonuses just so I don't irritate my non-gaming friends too much. Considerate? I think so. :P
More recently I signed up for my own twitter account. Now I'm bombarded by a stream of 140 letters blurbs all day and night! Don't get me wrong, some of those blurbs are incredibly helpful and I love to share my own. Still, I find myself drifting over my tweet list more and more frequently. It doesn't hurt that the dang bird is soo cute either and it's EVERYWHERE!
By the way, don't forget to follow me on twitter here.
