You probably will not find this information on a blog or review other I wrote for PC, but before moving to the big city, I lived on a dairy farm. Cows, chickens, farm cats (and rats), tractors, sweet corn, bales of hay, wild coyotes, everything else. Then, as an old farm boy, it was a possibility that the duty to consider beating Farmville Facebook. With over 82.5 million active users and counting, this simulation “of the farm in real time” game lets you start from scratch to cultivate a collection of flora and fauna in all its stock of virtual goods.

While tens of millions of sheeple are lining up here in droves to get their hands on what can only be described as a phenomenon of Facebook, this editor is on the scene with considerable doubt Farmville.

After all, I have been there in real life. I know what it is to spend an afternoon cooking away in the sun in mid-July by the stack wagon after wagon filled to the brim with crisp ball Timothy (a type of grass, not insiders, and food together for the common cow.) I helped the mothers of their Holstein calves offered by me with nothing but a bucket of hot water, a couple of birth chains, and a winning attitude. I was driven by an electric fence by bulls rebels, whose ferocity and undulating mass like his refusal to respond to reasons. The bar is set very high Farmville, is what I am trying to say here.

So when my editor assigned me to rate the experience Farmville against the real thing, I really could not argue with them …

There is much that we like the Microsoft approach to their new handset Kin, especially when it comes to ease of sharing content with other Studio users and the functionality to view all the photos and videos that have entered into a slick calendar . However, in some respects, Kin feels incomplete, even given its target audience of the demons of social networks.

1. No applications and games from third parties: It’s just really strange omission, given that applications have become a form of social currency. We found that Twitter, Facebook and MySpace are integrated, but not games? N Foursquare?
2. N IM: Microsoft has told us that SMS is the primary means of communication with the target of Kin. But there are many people who want to make direct contact with people using other media such as Twitter.
3. No calendar application: Kin users live in the present, and apparently has no place livestreaming to plan too far. You can set an alarm if! And you can also use the online calendars.
4. No GPS: Although you can know how to reach the addresses on the cards Bing, step-by-turn navigation is not part of Kin-at least not at launch.
5. You can not share images on Twitter: This is a head scratching. Given how easy it is to share photos via email, MMS, and Facebook, we also see Kin owners post photos (and video) and its updates.

Lack Bonus Feature: Only relatives will automatically download the videos you capture with your camera online Kin Studio. The Kin Two high-resolution images (720p) is too large to download, but I do not see why Microsoft can not compress the images in the process.
