I 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.

This article (written by St. John himself) goes into more detail of his thoughts on Zynga. 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.

I can only hope someday I'm as mediocre as Zynga.

There are plenty of new markets to spam! You, too, can be the next Sanford Wallace or Mark Pincus, if only you dream big enough.

WildTangent was shady enough that I would have liked someone else to write this article. :)
