据游戏邦了解，MocoSpace是一个于2006年上线的社交游戏网站，目前用户超过1600万人，每月综合浏览量是30亿次，之前仅支持在手机网页上运行，并将自己标榜为没有iPhone、Android或黑莓手机的用户社交平台，但目前已推出智能手机应用版本。该公司现在还正进行最新一轮轮融资，以拓展基于浏览器的手机社交游戏业务。

MocoSpace现在有两款自主开发的社交游戏《Street Wars》和《Stage Hero》，这两者的月活跃用户总数在70万以上，用户平均每次访问游戏的时长超过4分钟，玩家平均每天访问2.5次。游戏邦获悉，该公司目前正与一些游戏工作室合作，计划在今年春季推出首款第三方合作开发的游戏。

有意与MocoSpace手机游戏开发基金会进行合作的开发者，可以向该公司提交原有游戏作品，以及游戏项目提案，MocoSpace将为其中具有发展潜力的项目提供资金和市场营销支持，帮助开发游戏，并在MocoSpace游戏平台上推广该游戏，MocoSpace最近还因宣布“有意”收购新闻集团旗下的社交网站MySpace而引起了舆论的关注，据MocoSpace公司CEO贾斯汀·西格尔（Justin Siegel）所称，MySpace的售价应该在5000万至2亿美元之间。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

MocoSpace Launches $1M Mobile Game Developer Fund

Mobile social network MocoSpace is launching a $1 million HTML5 Mobile Game Developer Fund to accelerate the development of games played on smartphone browsers.

MocoSpace develops a web-based social network that counts over 16 million users and three billion page views per month. While the network, which launched in 2006, was previously only mobile web-based and prided itself on its users mainly being non-techies who don’t own an iPhone, Android or BlackBerry device, the site has evolved into smartphone apps as well. The company just raised funding to expand into mobile social gaming as well, specifically for developing browser-based mobile social games.

MocoSpace’s two in-house social games, Street Wars and Stage Hero, have a combined total of over 700,000 monthly active users, average session times of over 4 minutes and players averaging nearly 2.5 sessions per day. The company is currently working with a number of game studios, and expects to launch its first 3rd party titles this spring.

Interested developers are invited to submit existing games and game proposals and those selected will receive cash and marketing support to develop and promote their titles on the MocoSpace Games Platform.

MocoSpace recently made waves when it announced its “intent” to purchase torubled social network MySpace from News Corp. MocoSpace CEO Justin Siegel said that MySpace would probably sell for between $50 million and $200 million. （source:techcrunch）
