Apparently Murdoch and co. intend to "out-zygna zygna."

Oh god, and he makes me feel like I need a hot shower. It's a never ending cycle of creeping disgust.

Hey I thought that Google bought out Zynga a while back.  Did that not happen?

Ah ok no, they're just invested in them.

Also though:

Quote
As reported by Bloomberg and others,[13] stock trades on the private stock sale service SharesPost established a valuation of above $5 billion for the company, greater than the public market capitalization of gaming industry leader Electronic Arts and has more than 320 million registers users, 1,300 employees and estimated revenues above $500 million for 2010

Shit like this just confirms to me that there's a bunch of services/companies that are massively over-valued at the moment, and a new tech bubble is in effect.
