Social network games

So you probably read by now that Hasbro has officially shut down Scrabulous on FaceBook. While I don't have an official opinion between Scrabulous and the Official Hasbro-EA Scrabble, I do think that social network gaming is an interesting game medium that can only get better.

Facebook's goal obviously is to get you to log on as often as possible and games like Scrabulous keep players logging in. Now that Scrabulous is gone what do you do? Even Hasbro admits that Scrabble is still in a testing phase. How about going classic and playing some FaceBook Chess? Or maybe oldschool is the way to go and compete for top score on Tetris Friends? You could always just play Hold 'Em.

There are some other games that I think would be interesting. Hangman? Monopoly? There are a ton of turn based games that would work.

Interesting though is how to get your piece of the pie as the game developer. Helping FaceBook become more dominant with an addicting app that keeps users logging back in is great, but what do you do with all those users?
