Let's play

Hi, thanks for dropping by. If you are interested in a lively community around mobile casual games why not register to play, score and make friends. Please go to http://www.playyoo.com/common/registration.html

This is my step into the game. I’m with Playyoo here in Lugano since last week. Welcome to everybody following us already.

I spent the last 5 years being heavily involved in the social media sphere; I remember back in early 2002 when I got into blogging I was sure that this is a sign for a more mature, promising and socially engaging web. I won’t continue this sermon. But I tell you to be here at the intersection of a web and mobile platform that supports all we know about user generated content plus augmenting it into the former specialized area of casual games publishing is fantastic.

Gaming On The Go: “The DS killer for the casual market is not the PSP (t d f) — though Sony would love for this to be so — but the mobile phone.”

I will be responsible for community building and marketing at Playyoo. So if you have any input/ideas please contact me live.

What we are aiming at is providing not only an easy-to-use platform for downloading games and socializing around it. Additionally and this is a first: we will provide you - and I mean you as in everybody - with an easy-to-use game creator thus encouraging play and fun on both ends. We will support game creation on a normal user - that means you and I can do it - level with our launch in December.

Ah yes I almost forgot - let me point you to our contest. We really strive to launch in December with a compelling offer. We encourage Flash developers to be among the first to put content on Playyoo and get user feedback (and win prizes ;-).
Let’s see - once we are live- what gamers with our game creator can achieve. As you know the notion of democratizing the means of production (thanks for that post Suw) is what keeps the Web 2.0 phenomenon attractive.

What I’m really curious is how a technology like that - compare how YouTube changed the way videos and recently advertising are understood - will change the way we conceive of casual games.
