Is pet society really a social game

Lately I have been wondering…..
Is pet society really a social game?
Well Playfish advertises Pet society as a social game but how far is it true?

Well this Question first arises in my mine when I asked one of my BFFs if she like Yoville or Pet society. She simply answered Yoville, so I asked why to this she answered that she could interact with new people in yoVille while in pet society she just had to earn money. Will at first I denied this fact but it was true. A social game is something where you can meet other people but just because you can see other people’s pet does not make it a social game. So can we really consider pet society a social game????
   There is no way to know if you friend is playing Pet society as the same time as you. The only way to do that is by Facebook chat. Infact if your friend changed something in her/his house you can’t see unless and until you restart the game. Meaning this game is not actively updated.
   Well actually I do play Yoville when ever I want to meet up with my friend and talk to her live and in a new way. Club penguin is another game like yoville but you can’t buy anything unless you are a member. Well you can certainly meet new people and talk to them, and if you wanted them as a friend there is no need to add them as a friend is Facebook you can add them to your buddy list. While in pet society you have to add them as a friend to do so.
    So what do you think is pet society really a Social game?
 
So how all should playfish add to pet society to make it a social game? I think the option to meet your friend’s pet live and even able to chat with them. But making petsociety exactly like yoville or club penguin will be a nightmare. As in both the game you have really small avatars but in Pet society you have the perfect sized avatar. i guess Play fish should make a small spot in Petsociety where Pets are allowed to chat and interact with other pets.
  Well i would say that the fountain area in the middle will be a good place for players to meet new ones and the waterfalls in the left top corner and the field in the right bottom conor and even the golden mayor statue area. well sorry for using the old map but i lost the pic of the new one so sorry and i could not take one as i am currently busy as my exams are coming up and i  need to prepare so i do less blogging and more studying
