- fallintothis 17y agoI was giggling at Gamador's summary. We make social games. We launch faster, iterate faster, and use metrics better. "Use metrics better"? I guess that one wasn't crafted with consumers in mind.
- patio11 17y agoIf it makes you feel better, you can pretend they said "We make the games our customers want to play rather than the games we think they should want to play." Because that is what they said.
- fallintothis 17y agoBecause that is what they said. In so many words. I trust their second sentence is relevant and makes more sense to investors, but I imagined it being their slogan. "Gamador: We launch faster, iterate faster, and use metrics better" just sounds humorous (hence the giggling). To me, as a Joe-average user, it sounds more like That Guy from Futurama than "we make a lot of really addicting games".
- lacker 17y agoHeck, if it made you giggle, maybe we should use it as our slogan.
- pg 17y agoI guess that one wasn't crafted with consumers in mind. That is exactly right. These descriptions were written for investors.
- abstractbill 17y agoQuoting JWZ: "How will this software get my users laid" should be on the minds of anyone writing social software (and these days, almost all software is social software). They're not using "social" as a buzzword indicating a passing fad. They're using it because, as JWZ points out, that's part of what software is today.
- axod 17y agoSoftware has been 'social' for 10-15 years at least though. We just didn't call it 'social' until the last couple of years. I think that's why it's an irritating buzzword. It suggests there's something new and revolutionary, when it's actually just more of the same.
