“FrontierVille” Already Has 5 Million Players




Apparently FarmVille meets Oregon Trail is a winning combination — Zynga’s FrontierVille game has reached five million active daily players on Facebook in less than two weeks.

FrontierVille launched on June 9 as a sort of spin-off to FarmVille, though it was developed by Zynga’s Baltimore studio — a different one than the one responsible for FarmVille. In fact, its lead designer is an esteemed strategy game designer known for his work on Civilization and Rise of Nations, according to VentureBeat.

The game adds some features and levels of complexity that its predecessor doesn’t have, such as the ability to control multiple avatars — an entire family.

The game’s huge initial growth is due in part to the way the game encourages players to invite their friends. When I signed up for the game, I was prompted to invite my Facebook friends three times in my first five minutes of play. Given the association with FarmVille (which has more than 200 million active users), it’s not a surprise that FrontierVille has spread quickly.

Note that Zynga says that five million is the number of “daily active” users, however. That’s not the same as the probably higher number of people who’ve at least signed up to begin with.

WARNING: Facebook Clickjacking Attack Spreading Through News Feed




A new clickjacking worm is spreading through Facebook via the “Like” feature. The attack, which is said to have hit hundreds of thousands of users, uses a combination of social engineering and clickjacking to make it appear as if a user has “liked” a link.

The messages that are being used in the link text include, “LOL This girl gets OWNED after a POLICE OFFICER reads her STATUS MESSAGE,” “This man takes a picture of himself EVERYDAY for 8 YEARS!!,” “The Prom Dress That Got This Girl Suspended From School” and “This Girl Has An Interesting Way Of Eating A Banana, Check It Out!”

When a user clicks on the text that appears to be “liked” he is taken to a blank page that just has the text, “Click here to continue.” Clicking anywhere on that page will then publish the same message to that users Facebook page.

This vector is extremely similar to the Fbhole worm that spread across Facebook 10 days ago. Because users unwittingly end up recommending the offending page to their social graph, this is the type of worm that can spread extremely quickly.


Security firm Sophos has identified the linked pages as being infected with the Troj/iframe-ET worm. It doesn’t appear as if the worm does anything other than add likes to your feed, but if you’ve been infected, you’ll still want to take action.

Sophos recommends deleting any entries in your news feed related to the links and check your profile and info pages to make sure that no links or pages related to those sites have been added to your profile.

Pre-Order “Toy Story 3″ Tickets on Facebook


Disney has created a new Facebook app that will let users buy tickets to see Toy Story 3 right on the site, while also inviting their friends along. The application is called Disney Tickets Together and is a brilliant example of social media synergy.



The app, which works in partnership with ticket-buying websites like Fandango.com, lets users pre-order tickets for the show and then invite others to join them. Users can also post what showing they are going to on their Facebook news feed.

This is the type of campaign that is a perfect fit for social media. Not only does the ability to buy tickets without leaving Facebook make impulse ticket buys more likely, but the social aspect makes group planning that much easier.

The nice thing about the Facebook app is that you can view what types of theaters are showing the film in your area (meaning 3D, stadium seating, IMAX 3D, etc.) and you can also invite along non-Facebook friends by entering in their e-mail address.

Tickets aren’t available for pre-order at all theaters but many more will be added next week.
