Now only was the game fun to play, but I got hour dollars off of my Chinese food order. After I made my order online I was further surprised by what I saw. My screen was taken over by this:
I was slightly impressed and slightly annoyed by the shameless advertisement these restaurants are willing to participate in. It was definitely interesting that a website connects with a social networking site to get more people to use their business. However, I feel it was overboard for the site to then expect the costumer to make their status about the food order they just made. This really goes to show the depths in which social networking has changed society, and specifically the business worlds source of advertisements.
