While I am a huge fan of Facebook and use it everyday for updating my status, touching base with colleagues and friends and monitoring my groups – I haven’t been much of a gamer. However, after yesterday’s news I’m starting to think I was missing the boat!

In case you live under a rock – yesterday the popular game, Scrabulous, was taken off Facebook. And let me tell you – you wouldn’t believe the kind of coverage this is getting. Not only was it in a dozen newsletters that I read, but my friends were outraged enough by it that it was in their Facebook status and I even heard somebody talking about it yesterday (Yes, in the REAL world).

What exactly does this mean? For social media? For Hasbro’s marketing? Weigh in and let me know your thoughts. I’m very intrigued!
