Tricolour to fly over Facebook farmland

KOLKATA: Indian gamers cried ���Rang de��� and now they���re set to get it. San Francisco-based Zynga, the developer of Facebook application FarmVille, has announced they will put the Tricolour in the ���market���.
Though the developers have taken a causal tone in Facebook, saying: ���We���ve been seeing a whole lot of players asking fer (sic) the chance to proudly display their country���s flag in FarmVille.That���s why this coming week, we���ll be adding the Indian flag���, they talk business on Twitter: ���In the spirit of diversity, we���re happy to announce that this coming week the Indian flag... will be in the market.��� Despite the masked message, this should be music to 40,000-odd virtual farmers.
The bone of contention has been the missing Tricolour in FarmVille���s ���decoration��� section. Indians ��� ���insulted��� by the snub ��� had knocked on the company���s doors for a month, only to ignored. After TOI published reports that were picked up by various websites worldwide, the developers seem to have changed tack in three days.
