Project Z, Zynga’s destination website is now in closed beta and preparing for an eventual live launch, Schappert said. “Project Z is a destination site for social gaming, we’re trying to create a place for people to enjoy social games, to play together. And always have an endless supply of friends,” he said. “It’s now in an internal closed beta. We don’t have a release date.”

We know that you will still be able to access your favorite Zynga games via Facebook when/if we get to see this new Zynga platform and model.
We would like to ask Zynga to enlighten us users a little about Project Z and Zynga Direct.
