Excellent reporting. I tried CityVille for two days at urging of a FB game friend, despite the fact that I have all other Zynga games blocked. Basically Zynga has users spam their friends' walls, by requiring, as part of game play, posting for help to complete needed game funcitons to continue playing. The friend quit playing it a while later, but other friends still play. Everyday friends post complaints about the various Zynga games they play, yet they continue playing them despite game issues!
