playdom[/caption] Social gaming startup Playdom raised another $33 million from Walt Disney, Steamboat Ventures, New World Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners. This infusion of cash is on the heels of $43 million dollars from nine months ago. So far sources indicate the cash has been used for acquisitions of social gaming startups. The original round of financing was nine months ago and already seven acquisitions / investments have been made by Playdom to date. This social gaming sector for Venture Capital is becoming as popular as the privacy protection sector at the moment. According to PaidContent Zynga (a social gaming leader) raised an enormous $147 million just last week.
