Today's Stock Pick of the Week

At The Motley Fool, we want to be accountable for our recommendations. Each week, I'll make a CAPScall on my profile in Motley Fool CAPS and highlight my pick in Friday's video. This video series may also include updates on previous calls and related news.

In today's video, I take a deeper look at social game maker Zynga (NAS: ZNGA) . The company is bringing its popular games to Zynga.com as it attempts to be less reliant on Facebook. Zynga's new platform will support games from third-party developers, and the company's push into mobile should contribute meaningful in-app advertising revenue.
