Zynga Games

Millions of people connect and interact each day through Zynga Games. Founded in 2007 by Mark Pincus, Zynga Games changed how people connect on social websites like MySpace and Facebook. Zynga is the name behind FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Café World, YoVille, PetVille, FrontierVille and many more other games. In March 2010, there were over 80 million people playing FarmVille on Facebook alone!

Keeping up with the future, the FarmVille app arrived in the Apple App Store so people could play their favorite game on their iPhone. There are over 230 million active users monthly playing different Zynga games and over 60 million daily. Over $3 million has been raised for many non-profit charities from people buying virtual goods in the different games. Early estimates report that Zynga should exceed $300 million in revenue (half of which is operating profit) in the first half of 2010. By 2011, Zynga could reach $1 billion in revenue.
