Hi5 CTO: Zynga Is Mediocre. It Just Discovered An Opening For Spam
- gyardley 16y agoI can only hope someday I'm as mediocre as Zynga.
- _delirium 16y agoThere are plenty of new markets to spam! You, too, can be the next Sanford Wallace or Mark Pincus, if only you dream big enough.
- teej 16y agoThis article (written by St. John himself) goes into more detail of his thoughts on Zynga. http://www.industrygamers.com/news/facebook-games-from-zynga-are-parasitic-says-alex-st-john/ http://www.industrygamers.com/news/facebook-games-from-zynga... I believe many of his assumptions of Facebook games are off, but my opinion is colored red as it were.
- mrkurt 16y agoWildTangent was shady enough that I would have liked someone else to write this article. :)
- dasboot 16y agoI used to get Hi5 invite spam. Perhaps they're just bitter that Zynga is better at spamming. Let's face it, all these "social" companies use default opt-in and "let's spam your address book" and other unethical "viral" features - simply because complaining geeks are shitty customers anyway (don't click ads, don't install "apps"), and average Joe doesn't get it and/or doesn't give a damn.
- rokhayakebe 16y agoI still do.
