Gaming startup Heyzap first launched its social discovery service for mobile games nearly a year ago. Now it?s unveiling the first list of partners who are using the service.
Some of these partnerships weren?t exactly a secret before ? you could just open up the Heyzap app and see which games were available. But now the startup is really trumpeting those partnerships, in part to show off some of the big names who are buying into its vision.
