Zynga Pulling Away From Facebook

[mattfca]

Yeah that makes sense.
Personally app-traffic has always been the same for me, but I have seen the complaints.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

...but the fact that Zynga won't be such a large advertiser will mean that more profile/fan page traffic becomes available.

Which should mean lower bids.

We all know this really wont help affiliate marketing on facebook.
Do you really think facebook will lower bids and ease ad approvals?

 

[Reverence]

Maybe, but if those people are doing it just because it's there, they will be able to find it on the internet without the help of facebook.

Plus the facebook open graph shizzle will still make it appear on walls.

This again. Imagine if one day FB and Zynga decide to breakup and people who have been playing farmville in class or 3-5hrs a day don't see the application when logged into FB?! 1st there will be 50000 fanpages "BRING FARMVILLE BACK" but it will be a pandemic and everyone will be googling farmville and mafia wars

If they start missing revenue targets, yes. Just like in the beginning of 2009.

Depends on what you're running...

Facebook's usual M.O., with the exception of Beacon, is to ignore the cries of the unwashed masses until we find some something new to distract us.

There will be less spamming of my walls... Many of the Zynga players had a game account, since Mafia war wants you to have at least 500 playing friends... and so on.. so it will only improve the account quality of facebook...

Zynga would ONLY have control over its monetizations, but more than the Ads, it was the constant spamming of friends wall that got most of the players of Zynga.. They could still run the ad anyways, but their spamming would be killed... they have fleeting with the idea of running their own for sometime now, what with farmville.com etc..

But Zynga shares more a parasitic relationship than a symbiotic one.
That Zynga spends money on facebook has not much to do with ZYnga being on its Platform.. It is just simple advertising... They are just advertising to the broad demographics of FB users since Their players are all FB users.

Mark Pincus is a Bigger Dickhead than Mark Zukerberg

they can still spam walls if there not on FB

HOLY FUCK MY HEN HOUSE HAS BEEN RAIDED and My Strawberry crops have withered!

That Zuckerberg can't keep out of trouble. He always likes to fight with people, lol. (remember the story about him allegedly stealing the facebook idea?)

Whaaaat??? Where'd you hear that?
