Zynga is mainly based on Facebook's platform. They also explicitly said that getting revenue on that platform is harder than expected. That makes investors very nervous about FB's outlook. We'll know more tomorrow when FB releases their own performance and expectation numbers.



Which doesn't change that we don't know yet and there is nothing in the article that indicates what it writes.

I am not a big fan of the revisionists that are roaming HN but the title is flat out wrong.


FB is down 7% after hours, and the most likely culprit is this news, as the two companies' outlooks and stock performance have been tightly coupled after past quarterly reports.

The title looks factually accurate to me.


From the article: "Shares slumped as much as 42 percent in extended trading, dragging Facebook’s stock down as much as 9.7 percent."

The title seems pretty accurate to me.
