"Facebook's changes have also shortened product lifecycles and triggered a rapid consolidation phase ... The bar is now raised on competitive requirements like capitalization, scale and marketing...
"Conversely, while in 2009 the big story was how small developers like Slashkey established new genres like farming, the big story in 2010 is that the strong will get stronger, as evidenced by the high correlation of venture involvement and established scale with the 17 successful new games of 2010 thus far."
- Digital Chocolate CEO Trip Hawkins tells Gamasutra how Facebook's notification system changes stratified social gaming, making big games bigger and leaving smaller games in the dust.

FishVille: A Discovery Log Guide for Ichthyologists
FishVille Discovery Log Letter
At first glace, FishVille's new Discovery Log feature appears to have jumped on the recent treasure-hunting trend in Facebook games, but it's really just a spiffier, new achievements log that lets you track your awards and the kinds of fish you've bought.
FishVille Discovery Log
The old Awards page has been integrated into the Log on the bottom right corner. On the top of the Log is a score that'll go up as you acquire more fish and treasures, and complete more awards.
FishVille Discovery Log Fish
Some of the collections are pretty easy, when all you need is to buy stuff from the store. The Log facilitates this by allowing you to click on the items on the pages, so you can immediately see what you need to do to get the fish or treasure item. Others require Sand Dollars or gifting on certain days of the week. A major downside is that your past ownership of these items don't count. So you're going to have to engage in plenty of do-overs.
Here's are the current fish collections and what you need to do to get 'em:
Classic Fish: Shy Hamlet, Hawaiian Hogfish, Percula Clownfish, Swissguard Basslet, and Pinktail Trigger
Tip: All fish can be bought at the store, except for "Pinktail Trigger", which is only available on the Free Gifts page.
Anthias: Townsend Anthias, Tierra Anthias, Lyretail Anthias, Thompson Anthias, and Red Striped Anthias
Tip: These are all on the Free Gifts page, but there's a catch -- each one is only giftable on certain weekdays, from Monday through Friday! So you need a friend to send you "Townsend Anthias" on Mondays, "Tierra" on Tuesdays, "Lyretail" on Wednesdays, "Thompson" on Thursdays, and "Red Striped" on Fridays.
Shrimp Gobies: Prawn Goby, Flagtail Shrimpgoby, Giant Shrimpgoby, Wheelers Shrimpgoby, and Widebar Shrimpgoby
Tip: Except for the "Prawn Goby", which costs 90 Coins, all these fish must either be bought for Sand Dollars at the store or hatched by a "Mystery Goby Egg" from the Free Gifts page.
FishVille Discovery Log Mastery Fish
Mystery Fish: Black Percula, Broadbarred Goby, Immaculate Boxfish, Indido Hamlet, and Fine Spot Wrasse
Tip: Click on the Mystery Fish in the Discovery Log to take you to the Fish Mastery page. You can only get these fish by doing the Fish Mastery, which means you've got to buy a certain type a fish and sell 'em a certain number of times. Check out the Fish Mastery guide for complete details.

FishVille: A Discovery Log Guide for Treasure Hunters
FishVille Discovery Log
The best way to describe FishVille's new Discovery Log is to call it the most sophisticated achievements page for a Facebook game we've ever seen. It makes players utilize every function of the game in order to complete collections. The Log keeps track of fish and treasures, but it's also a platform from which you can collect the stuff you need. For example, clicking on the item listed allows you to go straight to the action required for obtaining said item. But it's only that easy if you do the Sand Dollar method, which is simply ponying up real world cash.
Below we've got a list and tips for everything you need to know to get all your treasures. The easiest thing you can grab is the "Deep Sea Coral," but it's going to cost you 56,250 Coins.
FishVille Discovery Log Treasures
Mermaid Statues: Mermaid Maiden, Merman Minstrel, Mermaid Queen, Merman Soldier, and Dolphin Princess
Tip: Buy with Sand Dollars or find them inside Mermaid Mystery Boxes, which are free gifts. They're NOT on the Free Gifts page. Instead, click on the listing to send the boxes to friends.
Precious Shells: Blue Shell, Pink Shell, Purple Stombus, Spikey Shell, and Wavy Shell
Tip: You can get these only by redeeming "Fish Love". This involves regularly feeding and caring for your fish. When you do, you can collect their "Love" and buy items with it. For more info, please read the Fish Love guide.
FishVille Nautilus Shell Stash!Deep Sea Fauna: Bamboo Coral, Bubble Gum Coral, Deep Sea Coral, Gibsmithia, and Picasso Sponge
Tip: Grab the Deep Sea Coral at the store for 56,250 Coins, but you've gotta look at the "Deep Sea" or "Decor" section, as it won't be under "Plants". The first two items can only be found by collecting enough "Nautilus Shells" from friends. There should be a "Nautilus Shell Stash" icon on the lefthand side of your game window. Click on that to learn more. The last two coral pieces are on the Free Gifts page.
