We've recently started the first of a number of social games created to span social networks allowing inter-social network play. It's encouraging to see such a healthy amount of investment in this vibrant growth area.

While we don’t necessarily think of ourselves as a gaming company, it’s nice to be included! Nice research.

I would also add to your list Outspark, who raised $11MM from DCM and Tencent in Jan ‘08.
