Just looking for some help so I don't make a fool of myself in an interview. How do you pronounce Zynga? I am not applying to work there, but I need to be able to speak about the social networking landscape.

Any big players in the social that would be competing for the top talent from schools like Stanford and Berkeley?

Why not listen to how the staff pronounces it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeRfnXbKbko&feature=related)? As you may have expected, it's "zing + uh."

"In the social"? Do they seriously talk that way?

Yeah, it's definitely zing+ga. From what I've heard you give it a pretty hard "G" sound.

Sorry I meant, social networking world. I mistyped, but calling it "in the social" would seem pretty lame.

Thanks for the pronunciation guide guys.

I am totally going to work to get "in the social" up to meme status.

If Microsoft couldn't do it, what hope do you have? (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2006/nov06/11-13Zune.mspx)

I feel it needs a hand flourish to go along with it, perhaps a gyrating an open-palmed hand at the wrist.

Man, I hate Zynga. Every time I pull out one of the blocks, the entire tower comes crashing down. Stupidest game ever.

I'm pretty sure Zynga got their name from Johan Huizinga. He was the guy who coined the phrase "Magic Circle."

"In the social" is totally streets ahead.

As long as I maintain credit for starting it, spread the word.

That needs to be suffixed with "Ahhhhh Sheeeeiiiitttt".

One of the worst names for a software company, ever. Sounds like they sell magic supplies in a little store, like trick rings and top hats with hidden compartments.

Isn't it pronounced: "money printing fucktards" ?
Also, it sounds like a the name of a male enhancement.
