Games.com friend and Gamezebo.com Founder Joel Brodie responded to my Disney-Playdom merger op-ed, and he did not take kindly to my analysis. In fact, we disagreed on about 50% of it. Since I'm not one to take a challenge sitting down -- let the debate rage on!

The Facebook gaming phenomenon is about to get hotter. I say Facebook gaming is about to get white hot, and Joel partially agrees. His says social gaming will go more mainstream (It's not mainstream now? 7-11 and FarmVille say hello.) and thinks Facebook's ownership of the platform will always pose an issue. I don't agree for two reasons:

- Facebook is already mainstream despite the fact there are not games built on big brands, like, say SpongeBob Squarepants.

- The old gray ladies of the portal days, Yahoo Games, Pogo.com, GameHouse (and Games.com) may have something to say about distribution channels. A big site like these drive a ton of players to a portal-sponsored Facebook game, and that could be protection against Facebook's control. That means small Facebook game developers can try to gain eyeballs via the old channels, and bring a different kind of audience to the party. Now that's hot.

Head over to the YoVille Clothing Boutique and check out the latest set of Moroccan Fashion. These traditional clothes include turbans, robes and dresses.

The new Moroccan Tent is a compound of 3 tents. The main tent has a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. From the kitchen, you can exit to the left oasis. The other two tents are small bedrooms. Between the three tents there is the oasis that is composed of 2 parts, right and left. Both parts of the oasis have a small water lake with palm trees and rocks.
