During our phone call with Glu's senior director of global public relations Nicole Kennedy last Tuesday, we agreed that an interview with Greg Ballard would be a great way to explain more on what is happening with the company and the market.
Since we at MGB think highly of Web 2.0, Mobile 2.0 etc etc, we feel feel that this time we should experiment with something new, a community interview. Why? Because we want to be sure that the interview is not only about what we at MGB value as important, but also what you, the reader value as important.
So please drop your questions below this article, or e-mail them to news@mobilegamesblog.com. As always, we will handle all incoming questions anonymously, so don't hold back.
Let's make this an interview that benefits Glu and the industry!
UPDATE: Questions have been sent.
