the TEDx Talk from the FarmVille Guy.

if you take notes, you will end up with a simple but powerful formula for how to create a site that is akin to social cocaine.

Shit. I need a thank-you/like button on my site to convert the chain smokers into Cocaine addicts :smx1:

Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I like the part about the feedback loop.

Now to convert the addicts into $$$...

Idk haha, it got a little weird when he made the comment about women stroking men's egos, then awkwardly standing there laughing hahhahah

That was an awkward presentation...

I felt like he gave 30 seconds of information over 8 minutes. Good info, but hard to sit through IMHO.

Reminds me a lot of this article I ran across a while back about mental addiction to stimulus (twitter/facebook/gambling/etc). I posted a thread about it here: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/mi...241-dopamine-loops-information-addiction.html

Ignoring how socially awkward this guy is, thanks for the awesome link!!

In fact this entire channel is great. Another video I'm watching now is "Why We Procrastinate." I'm very grateful to have found this forum.

I enjoy the very cause I'm working on my own site, and I've decided to forgo Wordpress comments and just use a Facebook comment plugin.

hahaha that was the craziest, yet the best video I've seen on youtube in a while lol

It really makes sense what he is saying though. I will definitely implement this into my smartphone app.
Thanks for sharing!

Why not just use real cocaine?


Awesome post.

I actually think that, with some coaching, he could be a good speaker.

I think the name chosen was fairly appropriate to get my attention, good information however.
