Empires & Allies: Metric in a Couple of Days
I’ve been watching the application metric of Empires & Allies, the new Zynga game that has just launched last week on Tuesday. I found it interesting to see a huge jump on its Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Daily Active Users (DAU). I’ve been playing the games now, and love it! If you haven’t played it, you can try it by going to www.zynga.com/empires I feel that the game is introducing a new game mechanics. The mechanics is something like Sid Meier's Civilization and Age of Empires combined.

Steven Curtis Chapman: Cinderella
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I’m sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It’s been a long day
And there’s still work to do
She’s pulling at me
Saying “Dad, I need you
There’s a ball at the castle
And I’ve been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone…
She says he’s a nice guy and I’d be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, “Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone
She will be gone
Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, “Dad, the wedding’s still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone
Facebook News Feed Spam
I found there are so many similar post lately on Facebook (such as the one that is shown above). Be careful. When you click the link, it will direct you to a spam-y site that will tempt you to click some of the stuff on the page. I didn’t even bother to explore around, but you could expect that they will make some pop-ups or inject some Spywares or Adwares. Even that’s not enough, but as soon as you click News Feed link (above), it will also be shared as on your profile as a link that you like.
