Facebook Is The Ant; Zynga Is The Grasshopper

4896581274_1703731ca8_bEditor's note:�Adam Rifkin is co-founder and CEO of PandaWhale, an online network of interesting things and people. He has never owned Facebook or Zynga shares. . You can follow him @ifindkarma. Facebook and Zynga have experienced similar roller coaster-like devaluation from their peak stock valuations, and they've been�partners�for years, which is why MarkZ and MarkP often get lumped together in the same sentence by fearful investors whose stock is underwater: "Facebook and Zynga (insert analysis here)." Such bundling masks a deeper structural truth.�The reasons that the two companies have tanked in the market could not be more divergent, and more indicative of the character and strategic vision of the startups' respective founders.�Forget any analysis that lumps the two companies together, and instead find lessons in�Aesop's fable�that are important to every startup founder.
