Not everyone is enamored by the games and applications that can get people addicted on social network sites such as MySpace and Facebook. But apparently, there are more of the former as Zynga, a San Francisco-based company, which is known for Farmville – its “fastest-growing social Internet game,” has found a way to make social networking profitable!
Social games may be free but the money comes in when people who have become hooked enough to the game spend real money on virtual goods to help them level up.
As the game never ends, and Zynga develops more features and levels to keep players on their toes, the possibilities to spend is also practically endless.
Zynga was founded by Mark Pincus in 2007 and if the business buzz is true, Zynga might be able to surpass its $100 million dollars this year.
