New Facebook Groups format to replace all existing groups

In an Official blog post from Facebook earlier this week, Facebook announced that all existing groups under the 'old' format (such as Sharing Foals and Calves) will soon be 'upgraded' to the new group format. If you belong to ANY Facebook Groups, you need to read this.

The new group format features several distinct changes from the way the 'old' groups operate.  

Zynga Pulls The Plug

So...unless you've been living under a rock for the last few hours, Zynga recently announced that certain sheep/pig patterns and attributes, originally released by "hackers" (pause for dramatic effect and/or snickering), would be discontinued until Zynga decides to release those patterns and attributes in the normal course of gameplay.

The hue and cry from across the land has already taken place.  Fan sites and the usual FarmVille pundits have already taken their position on this decision by Zynga.  Causes have been created and are circulating more widely than ever before.

Facebook Security Glitch in Groups

It's not REALLY a secret, but we got your attention, huh?
This is important stuff to understand, folks!

There's been some sort of change in the way Facebook posts group activity to your own wall, and it impacts the group security of our FarmVille Link-Sharing Groups.

In a nutshell, this glitch allows you to view the wall of a group member on your friends list, and view their postings to that group, including comments and links posted, even if you may not be a group member.  Previously you could see these posts, but could not click-through to the original group posting.
