Cuban’s investment will fund the development of Mention Mobile’s new single title apps that utilize Facebook’s public information to customize games and create personalized content based on a user’s friends, preferences and interests. The company estimated that eight to 10 new apps would be created with the investment.

Cuban said in a statement that he was excited to be part of the company’s ‘creativity, fun factor and advanced Facebook integrations skills.’ He will be given a minority stake in Mention Mobile.
