FarmVille.com exclusive gifts encourage players to leave Facebook


FarmVille is the most popular social game on Facebook, and Zynga wants to drag some of that revenue and action away from Facebook's servers and onto their own. FarmVille.com has its very own version of the popular application, which lets people play outside of Facebook using the Facebook Connect service. Your farm on Facebook is accessible through FarmVille.com and vice-versa.

The draw behind playing on FarmVille.com is that you can send unique gifts. These gifts can only be sent while on FarmVille.com, and uses the Facebook friends much like the standard gifts do. While they are nothing particularly special, you can only get them through FarmVille.com. Is this a move to get FarmVille players to move away from Facebook? It would certainly give Zynga a strong position with advertisers if they pulled in 60 million unique visitors per month. Check out the complete list of FarmVille.com exclusives after the jump.
