Our Series A was $2M. We're not focusing on social gaming anymore. We are focused on driving user behavior and making websites (any kind of websites) more engaging, through the use of game mechanics like virtual currency, leaderboards, challenges, etc. We've built these mechanics into a set of APIs and widgets that can be integrated into any site. NBC is our first customer, and you'll see more in the next few months. We find Facebook, Bebo, etc. very interesting for a lot of reasons, but not as competitors to SGN and Zynga. We wish those guys the best of luck! best, - rajat Hey Justin – a few corrections.
