Google Investing in Zynga

Author: admin | Files under Business Talk

Most people have at least heard of the popular Myspace and Facebook game Farmville. That game was created and produced by a company called Zynga. Nobody is completely sure if Google purported $100 million investment into Zynga but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me. It has seamed real enough to raise a few eyebrows considering $100 million is not a small chunk of change, not even for Google.

This looks to me like Google may have some ideas of jumping into the facebook advertising game. Not a bad idea really, and knowing Google they won’t just dabble their feet in it – they will go all the way. The one thing I’m a little curious about is why Google didn’t just buy Zynga outright?
