FarmVille Sneak Peek: 'FarmVille Friends,' or global matchmaking

FarmVille FriendsYou gotta' love the cute names given to features like these, though "global matchmaking" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Zynga announced recently through a FarmVille loading screen that a feature known as "FarmVille Friends" is coming to the game.

What it means is that, soon, you will be able to visit, help and be visited by FarmVille players regardless of whether you're Facebook friends with them. This intriguing feature was actually announced already with the debut of The Pioneer Trail, as it will soon arrive there, too.

This essentially opens up your pool of friends almost infinitely, meaning getting things done will take a fraction of the time. However, we just hope Zynga finds a way to handle the massive increase in game requests moving across Facebook. Color us excited for such a feat, but prepare for what should be a beautiful launch.
