www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 68 days ago

Dan Porter, the former CEO of OMGPOP, now general manager of Zynga New York, apologized to his colleagues on Friday for saying that the company copied ideas for games. The company posted his email to the Zynga blog. "Zynga is often accused of copying games, which is mostly true," Porter reportedly said in a panel discussion at a startup's offices in New York Wednesday night, according to Quartz. In a subsequent email to the Quartz reporter, Porter clarified his remarks: What I said was that everyone in the games business copies games. That is the nature of the business and has been well before... Read similar

What OMGPOP CEO's Exit Means For Zynga (ZNGA)

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 46 days ago

We think Dan Porter's exit at Zynga is a sign of a bigger shakeup at the games maker, as it tries to figure out whether it's future lies in social games like FarmVille or mobile games like Words With Friends and Draw Something. Sean Kelly, a Zynga VP who spearheaded its move into mobile games, is taking over the New York studio Porter ran. Kelly, we're told, moved to New York last fall. His top priority: Rolling out Draw Something 2, the sequel to the hit mobile drawing game that made OMGPOP so valuable to Zynga, around the world. Kelly's nice-guy reputation comes as a contrast to Porter,... Read similar

Facebook is preparing for a major expansion of its headquarters in Menlo Park, California. Across the street from its current campus, it's going to construct a Frank Gehry designed headquarters. Facebook got the go-ahead from Menlo Park this week to build. Gehry is known for his wild, sweeping architecture. With Facebook being a hip tech company, one might suspect we're going to see a big crazy look. We're not. Facebook wanted something more subdued, notes Ryan Tate at Wired.

When Google designs the interior of its offices, it doesn't just make a bulk acquisition of bean bags, a slide, and some ping pong tables, drop them in the space and call it a day. First it talks to its employees about what they want in an office. It tries to design the office to accommodate their needs and make it welcoming. This just happens to usually involve a bulk acquisition of bean bags, a slide, and some ping pong tables. When Google opened new offices in Moscow in 2010, it hired design firm Camenzind Evolution.

Only nine months ago, Zynga was worth $11.5 billion, pumping out new games every month at breakneck speed. It seems so far away in time, given everything that's happened since. Zynga's stock is stuck in the doldrums and it's shuttering 11 older games like PetVille and Indiana Jones Adventure World that failed to keep large audiences. It's just more bad news in a year full of bad news for Zynga. 2011 was a very good year. Zynga had just gone public.

Zynga's Not Done With Facebook Yet: Check Out 'The Friend Game' (FB, ZNGA)

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 163 days ago

Facebook and Zynga just tore up their multiyear partnership agreement, making it easier for Zynga to pull away from Facebook. But it turns out that Zynga is still pushing traditional Web-based social games. In fact, Zynga's newest title, The Friend Game, is a Facebook game that's more or less about Facebook. Demetri Detsaridis, the general manager of one of Zynga's two New York studios, says that one inspiration for the game was a comment by Zynga CEO Mark Pincus. Pincus said that Zynga was "like a cocktail party for your friends"—and that got Detsaridis thinking. "The compass that guide... Read similar

Google's computerized glasses, Google Glass, have been generating a lot of buzz this week after it released a bunch of promotional material. As interesting as Google Glass looks, we really have no idea about whether or not it actually works as advertised. Google has been pretty strict about access to its still in development glasses. It let down its guard a little with Josh Topolsky, editor in chief of tech site The Verge. He got some hands on (or is it eyes on?) time with Google Glass.
