Happy or un-happy Valentine's Day! On this beauteous holiday, we find our inboxes clogged with a variety of dating-themed pitches, as PR reps (and the rest of us) attempt to take full advantage of this day of love. Our favorite so far comes from Zynga, makers of the Scrabble-like digital game Words With Friends, which is a very romantic, as well as a very life-saving, thing to play in your spare time. (Unless you're Alec Baldwin on a plane.)
According to a recent survey from Zynga of more than 118,000 players of the game, Words With Friends is good for scoring 'both on and off the board.' Risqué! But how so? Among the evidentiary details:
