Tower Blox Brings More Fun to Facebook

Tower Blox ScreenshotYesterday I questioned if Facebook has turned into a site for games and entertainment. This application supports the argument that Facebook is indeed primarily used for entertainment purposes. This application has close to 11,000 active daily users and is growing rapidly with over 30 percent of all installations using the application yesterday alone.

The game objective is relatively simple. All you need to do it build your building as tall as possible. One cool feature of the game is that the height of your friends’ tallest buildings are displayed directly within the game. I was able to build my building up to 52 stories. In comparison to the other players I did pretty well, ranking among the top 5 in the game. My score of 52 though was nowhere near the top three scorers who were able to beat me by an order of magnitude.

If you are looking for yet another time waster, this game can keep you busy for at least 15 minutes if you don’t become addicted to it. Be sure to let me know if you are able to beat my score. A combination of patience and hand-eye coordination should make it relatively easy to rank among the elite in this game. For some reason though I have a feeling that there is an error with the scoring system given the significant fall-off. If you want to have some fun, go grab the Tower Bloxx application.

  9. yes yes i have this game too. :D We don't fall in love when we are in the company of someone, we fall in love when we are off by ourselves thinking about them afterwards.Its quite clear that we enjoy being in eachothers company and like having fun together. And its also plainly obvious that a butt naked angel called cupid doesn't shoot an arrow into our asses.But it is when you are on your own and you find yourself thinking about someone in such a unique way, that allows you to list all the qualities about them you really like, and imagine yourself with them connecting together with the flow of your personalities, is when a feeling of love begins to take place deep inside of you. And although you may try push these feelings down or talk yourself out of them, you only find it comes back 10 times more powerful than ever before, allowing you to fall into deeper emotional states of falling for this person during moments of the day. With me, according to my experiences with people, theres always potential connections that can be built between us as human beings.When you recall a time in your past when you fell in love, where you then able to stay cool, in control of yourself and the relationship? Or where you calling that person everyday, always wanting to see them, thinking about them and eager to experience a growing connection with them?Heres the point: We do not fall in love by "tripping" over or falling into a "hole!" Love is a process we do to ourselves! And there are always new ways to discover how love can manifest between us – to the point where you act upon it right now!All the best,http://www.nicholasfinnegan.com/
