Some of you might have noticed a hiccup in the site operation earlier today. Got it fixed, but just letting you know that it was related to something big will be coming to Zogdog in a couple of weeks...

[Truth]

I thought the website got hacked or something. I kept on seeing a popup asking me to log in from a different domain. Of course I didn't do it, thought it was trying to phish for my password or something.

[brian]

LOL, I got a rather concerned call from Boberto saying something similar. Guess that's one way to get people excited about Zogdog again!

[Kevin]

Something big coming to ZogDog? You're right, E3 is less then two weeks away...

[Holloweaver]

wooot wooot so excited!

thnx Brian!

[Jinserver55]

Sweet, looking forward to it!

[Kevin]

I really do wish we could find a way to resurrect ZogDog. Miss the days of actual discussions going on and what not. Interested in hearing what your plan is Brian and hoping it's something I can get behind in terms of support.

[brian]

Kevin: it's related the project I talked to you about a while ago. Cleared it with Zog to make zogdog the first partner of that new service. Will release more details soon.

[Kevin]

Oh alright then.

Thought I'd give a little update. The reason we haven't launched the new project yet is because we recently had a face-to-face meeting with a little company you might have heard of... Microsoft. Not sure where that will take us, but it was intense and a lot of fun. Don't know if they'll want to partner, buy us, or tell us to go away. So we're holding off on a potential launch with Zog until we know more about MS's interest. Will let you all know soon, I hope.

[Holloweaver]

wow, sounds insane enough for me, captain, har-har!

[Truth]

Microsoft? Wow, is zogdog going big time?

[brian]

Zogdog isn't going big time (not yet at least). It's another project I've been doing on the side, which might use Zogdog as a partner site. It won't make millions for Zogdog, but I think it has the potential to inspire a lot more traffic.

[brian]

Microsoft has officially told us "not right now", so look for a launch of a new site very soon, certainly within a week. Zogdog will be the first-ever partner site, and you'll love it!

[Kevin]

It's a to bad for the MS deal but perhaps down the line if the project takes off, Microsoft will reconsider a partnership. Best of luck with this project!

[Jinserver55]

Well it doesn't pain me to say screw Microsoft for the 1,000,000th time. But hopefully they'll reconsider at a later date. Anyway, def excited to see what is cooking w/ all this.
