If you joined Facebook recently (and really, who hasn’t?) chances

Launched in mid-June, the Zombies game is already among the social
network’s most popular widgets, boasting well over 2 million

into zombies (which only happens after they also install the
application.) Which leads to the inevitable question: can you monetize
the undead?
