Heyzap creates widgets to put casual games on any web site
Fri, Jan 16th, 2009 |
Casual games are multiplying like weeds. But Heyzap can bring them to your web site via a widget that can be embedded on any web site.
With a few clicks, you can embed the code in a web site and thereby "gameify" it. Games are sticky. They’re engaging and are often a lot more fun than most business-oriented web sites. Heyzap’s notion is to embed a game on a site to keep visitors there for a longer time. It’s fairly democratic. Big brands could use it, but so could music fans who want a favorite flash game embedded on a MySpace page.
