New Hires in Social Gaming: Digital Chocolate, PushButton Labs, PopCap, & More

Following a sizable growth spurt among top social gaming companies last week, this week has been much slower — the second time in a month this has occurred. Of all the major social developers, according to data pulled from LinkedIn, only a handful showed any new activity. Even the mass of internal title-changing activity stemming from Google’s acquisition of Slide appears over.
