What has been one of my favorite applications on Facebook has had a major overhaul. It’s almost a completely different game now. I don’t know what to make of all the changes just yet. So far, I’m finding it almost impossible to play and I’m not even being affected by some of the glitches being reported by many others. It certainly doesn’t feel like it will be as much fun now. I’m going to wait for the major fallout from all the changes to try to make up my mind.

I do have big concerns about one issue though. Before the new version came out, my only friends that showed up on the application were those that had installed it as far as I know. Now, all my friends seem to be listed and I clicked on some cards for the application listed under a few of the friends to see what was up with it. I didn’t actually do anything with anything but now those people are listed as particular friends for this application. I’m hoping this is a glitch and will be cleared up because to use this application requires going through sets of cards for all the “friends” on the app and I would hate to be involving non-users in the application unknowingly.

While I’ve not run across the same situation on other Facebook applications, there are others that have similar issues where I’ve discovered I’m “playing” with friends who aren’t actually using the applications. This is even worse than the expectation of so many applications that you will invite all your friends to join in so that you can progress further in the game.

As much as I have been enjoying Facebook for nearly a year, this particular aspect is one of the unappealing ones.
