"Mention Mobile's creativity, fun factor and advanced Facebook integrations skills are a great combination that I'm excited to be part of," said Cuban.

"Mr. Cuban's investment demonstrates Mention Mobile's continued success creating innovative social games and applications," said Ryan Ozonian, founder and chief producer of Mention Mobile. "We have worked incredibly hard these past few months and have already seen tremendous user participation. Mr. Cuban's investment and guidance will help us expand and continue to create fun, interactive and compelling apps."

Mention Mobile's apps are currently available in the Apple App Store. Upcoming apps will also be available for Android and Facebook.
