Zynga’s massively popular Facebook game FarmVille have nearly 80 million monthly players and it’s attracting more players every day. FarmVilla’s user-base is already bigger that Twitter’s user-base. Twitter has more that 18 million users.
Its fan group was further punctuated when the game won ‘Social Networking Game of the Year” at the 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in Vegas. Other nominees for this category included Bejeweled Blitz from PopCap, Farm Town from Codebell and Playfish’s Restaurant City.
