message: Moving some uncited stuff here.
After business school, he spent a short stint working at TCI and Liberty Media out of Denver, but left to launch Freeloader, and moved to Washington, D.C. and subsequently San Francisco, California, United States.  After selling Freeloader, Pincus launched Support.com (today publicly traded as Supportsoft nasd: sprt), and then Tribe.net.
Mark Pincus caused controversy in the blogosphere in July 2006 when he disclosed that SixApart was attempting to censor his blog posting, by requesting that he not write about allegations that in 1992 whilst a student at Harvard Business School Murry Gunty had attempted to rig the elections of the  school's prestigious Finance Club. - The article in the Harvard Crimson does not refer to Pincus and I don't see a citation for the blog posting, etc. Not sure how this is relevant.
FWIW, I know Mark Pincus, but do not have an interest in his company nor does he have an interest in mine. -- Joi (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  uncited material 

message: Actually, this article needs some significant reworking and there are a lot of good sources online. I'll work on it at User:Joi/Mark_Pincus for awhile and copy it back. -- Joi (talk) 22:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reworking 

message: "Pincus was born in Chicago and raised in the tony neighborhood of Chicago’s Lincoln Park." Which publication uses the phrase, "tony neighborhood"? What does that phrase mean, and why is it different than "affluent"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.65.232 (talk) 03:09, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early Life 

message: I'm not the guy's biggest fan, but it's pretty obvious that under "Zynga" there shouldn't be a section stating that he started scamming people "from the start" unless it's specifically labelend in a criticism section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.198.167 (talk) 18:10, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Legacy 

message: I work for Rubenstein Communications and I propose the following edits on behalf of Zynga. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review the edits and take them live, as they see fit. If no objections are had and no edits are made within five days, I will go ahead and update the entry myself. //Brycetom (talk) 21:11, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Updates 

message: I believe the following addition to "Zynga" is neither cited with a reliable source nor written with a NPOV. Would another editor mind weighing in?
"Zynga's reputation in the gaming community has been damaged by these customer acquisition techniques, which have given the impression that Mark Pincus is only concerned with making money. Many gamers have also expressed frustration with Zynga's lack of truly original content, the obnoxious volume of messages spammed by the games themselves, and the fact that many of Zynga's applications often scrape unnecessary user informationhttps://fuzzybuzz.wordpress.com/tag/zynga/."

thread_title:  Zynga Edits 

message: Is this section really applicable? The customers of the company, Zynga, donate money to charities through Zynga's services. In fact, Zynga were until recently taking a share of 50% of all donations made for themselves (see ). Has Mark Pincus done any philanthropic gestures himself? Dremagon (talk) 21:04, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Philanthropy" Section 

message: Why is his ethnicity prominently displayed along with nationality etc? I find that extremely odd and unnecessary. There seems to be a lot of contributors to Wikipedia with a peculiar fascination with race and ethnicity. It's kind of creepy. CannotFindAName (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
