Zynga Plus Yahoo Equals Life After Facebook - onealhinsuff

It looks like Zynga, the casual online games developer known for its wildly popular farm simulations, ticking off Facebook, and alleged "lead generation" scams just added other lifeline to its list of consultation-expanding deals by cozying ahead to Chawbacon.

Talk of sweet deals, the move would arrange Zynga's games before of Yahoo's entire 600 one thousand thousand user base.

TechCrunch broke the story but says inside information are thin, that the games South Korean won't atomic number 4 available for different months, and that no more one knows which games we're talking about yet. That said, look for Farmville (unless there's an exclusivity contend with Facebook, which I'm betting at that place International Relations and Security Network't) and other popular titles equivalent Mafia Wars.

On Yahoo's front page? Integrated with its services? Try some. Yahoo plans to realize Zynga's games available through Chawbacon Mail, Yahoo Messenger, its casual-angled Yahoo Games portal site, and likely the homepage, besides. Looks for the Yahoo's US version to fling first, with an planetary followup.

Facebook and Zynga announced in conclusion week that they were forging a five-year "strategic relationship." This, after rumors that Zynga was planning to separation with the hot social group networking service and forge its own, dubbed 'Zynga Springy'. The kiss-and-make-risen pot expanded the use of "Facebook Credits" in Zynga games, a sticking point in reportedly "intense" prior negotiations. Zynga manifestly balked at Facebook request for 30 percent of credit revenues. According to TechCrunch, Zynga was able to negotiate a better deal and "walked inaccurate pleased with the deal," though Zynga Live is in all probability still in ready-just-in-case mode.

"Pleased" may turn KO'd to be an understatement, if Zynga walked away without a Facebook exclusivity games clause.
