Playdom bought Raph Koster's company Metaplace (where Cuppy works).

Disney just bought Playdom

5 Questions for David Cowan on the Playdom Sale

I believe "social gaming" is a bubble and yet not a bubble. The bubble was driven by FB, but as FB gaming apps wain/ebb as FB starts to reel in the 'wild west'-ness of FB (forcing FB credits, etc), that part of the bubble will pop. However I think Disney is positioning itself with this purchase to pick up where that leaves off (social gaming sites, ipad, handhelds, etc). I think it is a good move.
