According to Daisy Whitney of the New Media Minute, social gaming ads and virtual item purchasing are set to top One billion Dollars in 2011. Companies like 7-11, McDonald’s and State Farm Insurance are already hopping on the bandwagon and lining up to get in the social game. She cites games like Farmville and Mafia Wars... here’s the video:

Are you planning on making a new online game? You might think about putting it into the socio-sphere and getting in on the one billion dollars. Can’t you just hear Dr. Evil saying that? I wonder what kind of social game he would make...how about Zip it Scotty!?
