<< Special Report - Discover New Games May Lie To You >>

Over the Last few weeks I have documented what appears to be the Facebook Platform misleading users about the Apps and Games their friends are currently using or playing on the platform. As of now ZDNet blogger Emil Protalinski has chimed in to ask the same question: What's up with the Discover New Games module, why does it claim my friends are playing games they don't? Check out his report.
