    When Gamezebo founder Joel Brodie and I went to meet with GREE's VP of Product Ethan Fassett at Casual Connect, I was under the impression that we'd be there to talk about the obvious: the "GREE Platform." The mega-dev's publishing platform has just entered open beta, and without sounding too jaded, events like Casual Connect often serve as soapboxes from which to chat about their latest initiatives, per the party line.

    When it comes to Apple's App Store, the times, they certainly are a-changin'. Just this month at the company's WWDC conference, they revealed that the mobile marketplace has grown into a booming playing field full of over 650,000 games, toys, and tools.

    Early last month, we reported that Facebook was prepped and ready to launch their very own directory to help users navigate the chaotic waters of the site's many apps and games.
