Integrating Online Games & Social Networks
(via Techcrunch UK reporting from Plugg)
‘Max Niederhofer of Atlas Venture gave a great presentation on how online games are already big and only going to get bigger, especially in the casual games via the browser. Gaming is a 20 billion dollar industry now and 75% of casual gamers are female. Since a 3D version of Flash will come out in 2009 there is now an opportunity for startups to build Flash-based online games, disrupt the ‘printer cartridge’ model of the console market which requires high-priced games to work. Integrating online games with social networks could be a big deal.’

Max and I have never met, if we had, I’m sure we’d have disagreed in the past on subjects such as ‘feminine hygiene’ or ‘verbal dexterity’. But I’m glad to say this time, I’m in agreement with you Max and if Stardoll is the browser’s Barbie then PMOG sounds like it just might be the browser’s Shoe collection.
