Why Facebook users won't play Scrabble
An official version of Scrabble has made it to Facebook — far too late to displace Scrabulous, the unofficial knockoff, which has millions of users and fans so devoted they've posted music videos on YouTube in honor of the word game. Electronic Arts will release a licensed version for U.S. Facebook users; another official Scrabble application, meant for users abroad, has only 4,000 users.
