Moblyng is a venture-backed startup founded in 2008. The company is based in Redwood City, CA. Moblyng began as a slide show creation service and has since changed its focus toward becoming a developer and publisher of cross-platform HTML5 social games. The company currently has two HTML5 titles live on the Facebook Mobile Platform and mobile web. In January 2012, the company shut down and laid off all 20 of its employees. According to founder Stewart Putney, "We did not monetize enough to stay in business."[2]
[edit] Business model
Moblyng’s business model includes revenue earned from the sale of virtual currency from Moblyng Games’ web and mobile titles. Moblyng is currently focusing development on pure HTML5 titles for distribution on the mobile web.
