Awesome experience... 15 seconds flat for Heyzap to put a social game widget on this blog. Venturbeat had just covered them last week.
Apart from the cool idea of extending social games beyond social networks (and using ads to fund it) I was most impressed with the ease of use as a publisher. Sign in, define Blogger site, get code...automatically link to Blogger (Thank You!)and publish.
A nice rev share model would be welcome, but hey, in the meantime play some games and have some fun.
I am in tech geekdom heaven... I just installed and played with SGN's new application for the iPhone (iFun Golf). To the consumer, this simple iphone app allows you to use your iPhone much like a Wii controller to swing a golf club. The difference is that you are using your iphone to control a game on your PC screen.
On the backend, it's social network apps (SGN's) meets social paltforms (Facebook Connect) meets iPhone apps. Throw in a few ads (powered by Admob) and an ability to buy games and new courses (via Paypal from the device) and it's a VC's social network monetization dream!
Zynga just launched a phone version of its Live Poker game also connecting the iPhone user to players using the app via social networks.
