Zynga’s Mark Pincus: No Regrets On IPO Timing, Too Early To Know He Overpaid For OMGPOP – TechCrunch
Zynga founder and CEO Mark Pincus spoke at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference this morning, where he addressed some of the negative talk about the social gaming giant.

In fact, he said that with so many employees and stakeholders, Zynga started trying to act like a public company well before the actual IPO. Original post on techcrunch.com Comments on digg.com
