This is super exciting to read.

I've been building small web based "social games" for a few years now, none of which look or play like the games of these big publishers.

I think the core mechanics of social games have to be about bringing players together and encouraging them to interact.

I've been trying to self fund everything so far, but things are moving very slowly. I wonder in the turmoil whether I should seek investment and go big.

The obvious question is, "Will it scale?" I admittedly don't have the patience to click through to your stuff and evaluate it myself, but if you think you can handle it... I imagine the trick would be to convince an investor that Zynga is creating a vacuum that needs filling.

(Also, grain of salt. I do not actually have any relevant experience. But if your stuff actually makes social games look good, I applaud that all by itself.)
