there's some news that's not a surprise. One thing to remember is people create fake profiles and raise a farmville character on it to be nieghbors and friends to thier main profile.
...but it is still the biggest game on facebook right now backed by the biggest virtual currency peddlers out right now Zynga (revenue estimated to hit 500Million this year).

That's higher than FB's revenues...crazy. FB should just take some VC money and acquire Zynga.
... well considering they are also one of the biggest providers on Myspace and have iphone apps...
Zynga has said they don't want to sell ,and they know how much they're worth (They're valued at several billion now).
I'm sure this dudes been bankin'...

Yeah there was a big shit storm on Techcrunch about OfferPal's CEO being on the rag and going off at a conference about Mike Arrington calling OfferPal, rightfully so, a bunch of scam peddlers making bank off Zynga (and vice versa.)
Yeah but they're still running the incent offers on there. Now it seems to be only Netflix, Blockbuster, Discover etc though but I'm sure they're still banking. I read somewhere that about 2/3 of the users complete offers for farmcash so that's pretty major numbers.
It doesn't bode well for humanity that so much money can be made off such stupid shit. Mad props to Zynga though. I'm trying to think of my own stupid game or web app to launch lol
