re: Zanga My impression is that they are making use of the user data they are able to collect when people start using the app. Is ther any evidence that they are selling that data or otherwise doing something uncouth with it?



I'm not sure how much you think "user data" is worth. I can assure you that Zynga makes more money playing virtual Monsanto than they ever would selling user data.


so Farmville and Fishville are the High Fructose Corn Syrup of the internet? :)


Ok. I didn't really understand that they were charging so much for playing the game. I'm happy to be wrong.
