		<description>I&#039;d love to have any of you check out my app to play flash games through facebook. Reviews I&#039;ve been getting from other facebook members are that its better than mindjolt.
About page: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=50789923495

Application Link: http://apps.facebook.com/timsgames

I believe my site has some of the best features anywhere, which go far beyond what the other facebook game portal sites do. My site integrates more with facebook by posting your high scores and game plays to your news feed, notifies the old high score owner if you take the all time highs score, shows you what your friends are playing and localizes high scores to just your group of friends, and more.</description>

		<description>On October 21st, at 9.18am. I had an official looking email sent by a Nancy Weizmann, claiming to be from facebook abuse resolutions, sent to my facebook inbox, the email stated that I had broken terms of conduct and I needed to review and complete an online terms of conduct form in order to prevent my facebook account from being deactivated, there was a link provided on the email, to which I clicked on within seconds over $5,947,346 points were stolen from me. Facebook have confirmed my account was seriously breached. Zynga haven&#039;t even bothered replying to numerous emails. It wont be long before a group of users who have shared similar experiances get together and file lawsuits against the corporation.</description>

		<description>appreciate the note from &quot;Zuckerborg&quot; and thanks for a post that spotlights a genre of quality apps vs the white noise that&#039;s clogging much of the app directory these days.

Atomic Moguls has over 1.2 M installs across our portfolio of apps, and I can verify the observations about ongoing high engagement metrics on our games. Our strategy all along has been to build for scale, build cool games consumers want to play and share and make sure that the engaging features were part of each app&#039;s DNA. 

not to mention the fact that if you can create a meaningful, ongoing, engaged relationship with a consumer, you have also built a property that addresses many of the concerns advertisers currently have about the efficacy of advertising on social networks.</description>
