This is the all important question investors will have after hearing the news about Zynga filing for IPO today. When I first heard the news of this I had to go and research this company and I was stunned by what I discovered. You mean the tell me that Zynga is the company that created the popular Farmville game on Facebook, has made over 1.5 billion dollars since its inception in 2007! What! You Gotta B Kiddin Me! I just couldn't believe it. How can a 4 year old company be that successful? Two words Technology Games. This is what is driving economy these days.
Technology and Games has sort of taken over and replaced neighborhood outdoor activities and has totally consumed our time. Just last week I had to tell the little girl that lives down the street that my daughter couldn't come outside because we were playing the Wii video game. The news of Zynga has gotten my attention and I am now little curious to see just how successful this company will be when it is traded on the market. For many investors like myself who didn't get a chance to make money off of Google or Apple, the success of Zynga will be used as a gauge to what Facebook will do when it becomes a publicly traded company.
