I’m skeptical of the self-reported rumors of profitability from a company led by a somewhat known sketchy salesman with a history of financially troubled startups and hostile litigation. It seems that the rumors of Zynga’s profits are positioned to pump up the inevitable IPO.

Is this a non-issue, or is GigaOM and others simply unwilling to dig deeper into the topic?

Everybody else should too, whether they’re LinkedIn or Pandora etc… Otherwise they’ll all be overshadowed by the buzz around FB’s. The only one who maybe could afford doing it after is Twitter and I’m not even sure.
