Considering all the OT stuff I've posted over the years I hope the
group can stand one more from me! :)
A start-up I'm involved with, Good Call Sports, was fortunate to be
selected as one of twenty-five $25,000 winners in the first round of
the most recent Facebook Fund (fbFund) competition. Now those
twenty-five winners are competing for five $225,000 prizes in the
second round of the competition.
The idea of our game, Good Call Football, is simple: You watch a
football game on TV, and with a beverage in one hand and a mouse in
the other, you predict the next play: run or pass; left, middle,
right; etc. Referees in our high-tech control center (much like CTU)
halt predictions just before the snap of the ball and then enter a
result when the play has been run. Scores are calculated and a new
leader board is broadcast. Lather, rinse, repeat.
If you're a Facebook user and a football fan, let me encourage you to
browse over to our game the next time you're watching NFL
football. Our game can be found at
http://apps.facebook.com/goodcallfootball/. The Play tab has a
schedule of the games we'll be running in the near future. Our next
game is the Jets at New England (NFL Network), Thursday at 6:15 MST.
If you like it, tell your football fan friends and vote for us daily
through November 30 at http://apps.facebook.com/fbfundvote/. If you
hate the game and/or hate me for posting this plug, then smite us by
voting daily for all our competitors!

If you're at the Startup Drinks meeting tonight (Nov 12), I'll tell
you a couple of stories about this start-up adventure thus far.
