Zynga’s (ZNGA) CEO Don Mattrick Presents at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology Conference (Transcript)

Mobile devices are being used through smartphones, through tablets and we know that people love to have fun, love to be entertained and the number one time use case that’s occurring is with gaming.

I was struck with the fact that Zynga had an amazing collection of assets that had not made the transition, the migration to this multiple device world.
