In a very sophisticated and highly digitized society, virtual communities have replaced the real interaction between people. It is surprising that one of the successful and popular simulated reality online games is actually a tribute to one of the most tedious human jobs which is farming. This work was mainly associated with people who have not been so lucky to have obtained a good education. Despite this stigma, some people still find it interesting to dip into it. So for those who want to try farming, but do not want to get their hands literally dirty, you can try to Farmville.

Farmville is a farming simulation game developed by a company called Zynga and is available as an application on Facebook and the iPhone. The game allows the user to manage effectively - at least virtually - a farm. Once you have, you begin to till the soil, planting, watering and harvesting just to make your farm a success. Otherwise, Farmville also allows users to manage virtual herd of cattle and poultry.

Farmville started imitating City Farm; however, proved much more successful than its predecessor. Today, sixty-two million users have installed the application and twenty million were counted as members of its fan page. What is surprising is that it is still very much in its beta, which means that all players are still considered as testers of the program.

Despite these facts, Farmville remains one of the most popular games. A large number of invitations sent to friends through social networking site so they can play as their neighbors and manage their own farms, which can be strategic in terms of livestock and crops.

Although still in its beta testing phase, Farmville was a great success. So start checking the game today or download the application so you can start being part of this online phenomenon.
