SimCity Social is an insidious spam machine. Sponsored by Dunkin’ Donuts

I like my friends. Some of them are really nice. Yet within just a few minutes of playing SimCity Social, the Facebook-powered Farmville clone has tricked me into spamming them. Social game developers tend to get excited about the term viral.Here’s the thing: viral infections tend to be disasters. Say "it's gone viral" fifty years ago and you'd be met with a "god help us all" rather than the sound of a popping champagne cork. Viral used to be a negative word, and with SimCity Social's help it's quickly becoming one again.
