Redwood City, Calif. - Electronic Arts (NASD: ERTS) said on Monday that it has partnered with toymaker Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) to launch a version of "Scrabble" for the Facebook social network and Pogo.com. The official version of the game will compete, however, with "Scrabulous," a knock-off version that counts millions of users. CNET News.com points out that the official Scrabble game on Facebook outside the U.S. (licensed in those regions by Mattel) claims fewer than 4,000 daily users.
