Well - the CLZ guys are leaving Zynga.
For the readers who don’t know, we originally started in the facebook space last year, and have been in it ever since. But some time in February, 2008 we sold the majority of our applications to Zynga (the social game company).
Some people mistakenly thought we actually sold the company, but really we just sold applications and stayed on at Zynga for 7 months after.
Why? Turns out that Zynga is growing quickly and it’s just not our game. As I wrote to the Zynga employees “During our time here, Zynga has greatly matured as a company and in it’s strategic directions. Given where we are, this transition makes a great deal of sense.”
What next? Well Linus is thinking of going back to school at Stanford, I miss being in coffee shops, and James is looking to study Krav (see his earlier blog entry) much more.
Personally, San Francisco is beautiful in October, and I can’t wait to enjoy some time off.
