Facebook evolves

I am not exactly the first person to support social networking sites, i generally try to avoid them. But Facebook has recently come out with a new game called "Evarium". It is an evolution based game in which you control the destinies of spirograph critters. You set the mutation rates, breeding rates, and a number of other parameters, along with the look of the beginning critters and then watch them go. You see them grow, reproduce, grow old and die. Clicking on any individual provides information such as, sex, what it's doing at the moment, and what sort of partner it is looking for. It's like a little dating profile for your imaginary creatures. You can also introduce traumatic events, such as introducing new types or killing off all of a certain type. Watching what happens to the look and distributions of the creatures is pretty cool and is an innovative way of teaching about evolutionary concepts. The ads that go along with the game are for evolution-based books, so even the ads are cool. This is pretty much the only online game like this that I whole-heartedly recommend checking out. If anyone knows of other games like this, drop me a line.
