Absolutely no disrespect for Mark Pincus, but giving speeches is definitely not his biggest strength. He has created an incredibly strong brand, but I would recommend some public speaking lessons in order to engage the audience more. It's not that the subject will not be interesting, it's a dynamic component of Web 2.0, but the delivery of the presentation didn't make it look that way.

@zark78 Like I said, I don't want to be offensive to homosexuals. Don't be offended.

I must say brand is hard to become a dial tone,

religion will probably be easier.

I think he is a beer bellied Steve Jobs' black shirt wearing wannabe avatar of himself as a contentless elf. Who better to make a game than a guy who belongs in one? Like it!

Not super insightful in my opinion. Basically said he wants Zynga to have the same brand recognition in social gaming that Facebook has in social networking.
