Update
November 14, 2007
Things have been going well with the business. We launched, got TechCrunched, and got some pretty good blog reviews and Alexa ratings. According to them we already have more traffic than our competitors and we haven’t even launched our cashier functionality yet. That should be next week some time.
Thanks to having switched to Ruby on Rails the non-flash portion of the site is coming along rapidly. We’re all about community, and we’re starting to build one there. On tap are all sorts of pokeriffic features, as well as some super stat pages that we hope will put ESPN.com out of business.
Tonight is our first real money tournament, for the people who’ve won money so far. Should be a fun one.
We’ve got a pretty good lead on the funding situation, and will probably raise a round in the low seven figures in the near future. We’re looking to hire a couple developers, and would love nothing better than one well-versed in poker, so if any of the 8 people who still read this blog are programmers and live in California (or don’t mind moving) drop me a line.
I’m not really missing poker too much. I have been working on some writing, but it’s coming along slowly, as I’m doing even more for the tech industry. I have some neglected Word files that need finished there too, one of which I think I’m going to turn into a tech talk for Justin.tv.
I do promise I’ll get out my article(s) about why I quit playing poker, which I think are fairly explanatory.
