If you are a Facebook addict like me, than you have probably played Scrabulous once or you know at least one person addicted to the game. Today (if you live in The US or Canada) you probably heard the screams or you screamed yourself when you went to the Scrabulous page and it was gone. While Scrabulous is gone from Facebook, the original Scrabble has created their own version of the game for Facebook and you can play that in place of Scrabulous. I wonder if the demise of Scrabulous was the reason for today's LA quake. All those upset people jumping up and down and pounding their fists in to ground?

Find Waldo on Google Earth! |

Melanie Coles has painted a 55' Waldo on a rooftop in Canada somewhere for people to find on Google Earth according to Daily Mail.
But competition is likely to be tough. Not only will Wally hunters have to locate his rooftop perch, but they will also have to wait for Google's imaging equipment to pick it up.
Although Google Earth pictures can be up to three years old, the company does not reveal when it plans to update its images.
But, as Miss Coles, 22, insists that's all part of the fun.
She said: 'The goal of the game is to get excited. It's like this huge shift. Radio is going to the Web. Television is going to the Web. And now Waldo is going to the Web, which is pretty fitting right now.
This is what I'm surrendering to the Google god.'
Miss Coles, an art student who has publicised her project on the blog whereonearthiswaldo.com, is now encouraging others to follow her lead and create a series of Google Wallys across the world.
'I think that it's within the spirit of the state of the Web now. Everything is a free-for-all, and I think the more Waldos, the better,' she said.
How brilliant of idea is that? I am surprised someone did not think of it earlier! OK, I am off to find Waldo on Google Earth!

Hasbro wants to kill Facebook’s Scrabulous |

Nooooo! Nooooo! Noooooo! Noooooo!
Hasbro sent Facebook a cease and desist letter saying that Scrabulous is a breach of copyright and that Facebook could face legal action over my favorite game according to AAP.
The Scrabulous game, which was developed by Indian brothers Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla, has become a big money earner for the pair.
It has been claimed that the brothers are receiving $US25,000 ($A27,853) per month in advertising revenue from Facebook.
According to Fortune magazine, Hasbro sent a cease-and-desist notice to Facebook asking them to remove the application.
Please Hasbro don't kill my guilty pleasure and the addiction of at least 500,000 people a day. I love when you put a bunch of letters together and they create a 40 point word and you are like that is a word! And with my spelling, I am happy anything is a word! Plus I have made friends all over the world playing this game. On that not time to start a new game with one of them.
Save Scrabulous!!!
