<insert crazy ramblings here>

It's like my aversion to Farmville and similar - the spam it generates. It's noise. It might be just a tiny bit of noise, but it's still an irritant, and it has a tendency to increase rapidly. Facebook make it very easy to block content from being visible at the game level if you don't want to see it, but what it's powerless against is the people who then choose to update their status to request random things. I don't want to know if you want more pink fences or windmills or whatever the hell the game is suggesting you need, but without blocking you out altogether, I don't get to choose. Similarly with Twitter, there's no simple way to block a particular subject, and a daily tweet really is enough of an irritant that I'd like to. I don't care that the game designers haven't lost anything, I do care that they're inconveniencing me, and doing it in a way that can make people turn around and ask me what the big deal is when it's "just one tweet/status update". Each spam email is JUST one email, and I can "just press delete" but in both cases, I have to sift through the increasing noise to get to the actual content I do want to see. Games that make you broadcast,, especially if they do it regularly, are just creating noise and that's NOT a good thing.
