Cow Clicker & the social gaming mess in Facebook
Cow Clicker is a satire on the popular social games on Facebook. In the the creator, Ian Bogost's words:
You get a cow. You can click on it. In six hours, you can click it again. Clicking earns you clicks. You can buy custom "premium" cows through micropayments (the Cow Clicker currency is called "mooney"), and you can buy your way out of the time delay by spending it. You can publish feed stories about clicking your cow, and you can click friends' cow clicks in their feed stories. Cow Clicker is Facebook games distilled to their essence.
The problem with Cow Clicker is that it is a real app and I'm concerned that there could be people who do click their way to owning a “Bling Cow”!
