Zynga And Mobile


Zynga and Facebook are in the same boat. They are both trying to figure out mobile.

Zynga's Rocky Shift to Mobile
To turn around its flagging business, Zynga Inc. is betting big on mobile games and creating a network that connects mobile-game players..... people have shifted to playing games on their mobile devices instead of on personal computers. Zynga says the number of people who play its games on mobile devices is growing three times faster than the number of those who play on the Web. .... Zynga's shares closed Friday at $2.72, down 73% from its December IPO price of $10 ..... Pincus said his vision for mobile games is to connect a large network of game players across a variety of platforms

Met Peter Vesterbacka Of Rovio Of Angry Birds Monday Evening

That is why you want to show up for events. I had no idea he was going to be there. I guess I did not read up the details on the event before I showed up. But it was awesome. It has to have been one of the best MeetUps I ever went to. There was Peter, the biggest name in mobile games, and there was live music, and there was free food - I ate a whole bunch of baby tomatoes.

Events: Week Of October 3


Peter said Angry Birds was "an overnight success in that" they had 51 flop games before they came up with Anngry Birds. Or maybe it was 52 flop games, one of the above.
