   Farmville is a great game and all of my friends and family meet up with each other to chat and play. I am a Canadian living in the Netherlands. We have so much fun together it is like be right there with them. Nou I need to add 10 more friends to my list to get to the next level. If I add 10 more friends I will not be able to continue playing. We chat on line so much that it takes away the time to play this great game as it is. How can I go farther without adding someone again. My sister-in-law gave it up. Now I miss her being on line.

   My name is Willem, I am a social work student from Belgium and looking for information for my thesis. It would really help me if you could send me some statisticks about the profile of a social network user. I am also looking for other related information, whatever you got: could you pls send it to me, bcs it’s really hard to find some good info. I am a student, I will become a social worker, as you may or may not know: this doesn’t involve a lot of money, so it’s not possible for me to pay you guys…
