So, could I embed it on my Facebook feed or in a blog like sharing a video? That sounds pretty cool.

Edit: Messes with my browser back button function. Not cool.


Yeah. I am going to fix that, sorry. Its a relatively complex issue related to using # for cross domain scripting.


Tried it out, neat idea. But i don't know how you will be able to compete with Kongregate and Addictive Games. Anyway congrats on the upcoming sleepless night, have to be lucky. :)


Is there anything more to this other than giving out embed code for flash games?


We have an API coming and a few other cool integrations that will hopefully satisfy you.


Sorry if I came off a little crass. I recently got out of a startup in the casual gaming world, so I'm rabidly interested in the industry.

I didn't really take in your value proposition at first, but I understand it a bit better. I'm still at a loss for the target, perhaps because I'm not in it.


Cool, what was the start-up?

In a broad sense we want to make it easy to put games anywhere. We have been integrated into a lot of blogs and random sites such as: http://www.6-eren.dk/spil/ http://www.dhingana.com/games and http://successaffiliatemarketing.com/adventuregamerzone (that one has it at the end of every blog post!).

Its still growing so thats the best bit.



Cool. I know Adam Gries pretty well (he used to work there). Were you acquired by sgn or did you start there?


That's pretty cool. I guess you could say I started SGN.


Congrats. SGN does a lot of cool stuff
