Online users have surely heard of Zynga; Zynga floods social networks like MySpace and Facebook, but their presence is more than welcomed. Children, teens and adults alike love to add the apps to their page to play games, increase their social network and help the needy across the world. Mark Pincus, founder and CEO of Zynga, has some outstanding growth stats and social good to share with the world.
By accepting apps like Farmville, Yoville and other Zynga apps, you have become a member of global giving. Over 50 million users each day sign in to their Zynga account and play their way into social giving without realizing it. What does this mean? Well, when you play certain games and buy certain items, your online cash has purchased real world funding to an organization in need. The famous Yoville app has a pet adoption center for you to adopt and care for an online pet, each adoption has helped fun the San Francisco SPCA - how much? $220,000! The Farmville app has done just as much good for Haitian villagers. Within 2 weeks of plowing and farming, Zynga app users have donated $830,000 worth to starving children - that's 500 children with meals for a year!
So the next time you ask yourself "what does gaming do for me?", you should think more about "what your gaming does for those in need". Alert your friends, family, parents and teachers to get involved with a Zynga game today and help those in need across the world to gain better knowledge, health and hope - your help will be greatly appreciated, and you can go to bed knowing that you have helped someone or something in this world.
