- Wednesday, 3 May 2006
When it comes to popular internet based-services there are two things that come to mind. First off is MySpace.com, the site took off in the last couple of years and has information and personal profiles on everything from your run of the mill college student to the biggest online gambling pros. The second web-based service that is incredibly successful, and doesn't seem to be slowing down is playing poker at online gambling sites. So the logical thing to do is combine these two wonders of the online world!
For those unfamiliar with it, MySpace.com is an web site used for social networking on which a user can create his or her own web page with unique graphics, audio and video clips, personal blogs, photos, and a list of friends with whom to communicate. And there is no cost involved. Where does online gambling come into the picture? All one needs to do is search the word “poker” in the groups section of MySpace to find 2,607 groups of people who have joined together in some Internet form or fashion to discuss poker. Some groups consist of people wanting to form home games or leagues, some use the groups to market their poker products or companies, some advertise poker services or online poker sites, and yet others simply want to find like-minded people to discuss strategy.
Even many of today’s top poker professionals have created their own MySpace pages to allow fans access to their blogs and tournament results, to gauge their own fan base, or promote their paid sponsors. In addition, some gambling fans simply use MySpace like many others outside the poker world – to keep in touch with friends through pictures and private messages.
