Rare Book Society, you are doing a commendable job. It is great to see you on the Facebook timeline in the maze of Farmville and Mafias.

Thanks Nikhil. I have no idea about Farmville and Mafias. Never visited those pages.

They are Facebook Games, which just ruin the Facebook page

Halleluah Nikhil ! You just have to hide those games when they appear on your wall by clicking on the hide symbol to the right which appears when you hover your mouse over it

Thanks for the tip! I too am frustrated with notifications of people "fertilizing someone's eggs" in farmville. :))

haha...i officially joined a group that says" not interested in your farm ,your mafia or your fish!"..subbuiah..youre well placed,ignorance is bliss!:)
