Zynga has opened their Zynga New York office by acquiring Facebook games developers Area/Code today. We're big fans of Area/Code, as some of their earlier games like Parking Wars made good on the promise of "social games".

Zynga has opened their Zynga New York office by acquiring Facebook games developers Area/Code today. We’re big fans of Area/Code, as some of their earlier games like Parking Wars made good on the promise of “social games”, and also taught a lesson about how advertisers could actually use Facebook for marketing without being obnoxious. A great move by Zynga, in my opinion.
