Gambling Tweet - New twitter type site

[Jamie - RateMyCasino]

Hi all

I am just working on a new site that will be similar to twitter like a mini blogging, but will be focused for online gambling only. What are your thoughts. I will be posting the site hopefully today sometime if we get it complete in time.

Just want some feed back on the idea.

Hi Jamie,

Do you have a particular user type in mind for this? i.e. customers? Affiliates? etc.

Is it literally a copy of twitter except with the intention to have users discuss and "tweet" about gambling related topics?

Hi Dean

It will be very much like twitter but focused as i said towards online gambling only at this stage. We were focusing to start with for the affiliates, but after discussing this with a couple of casinos it would be a good idea to have both. I think.

Here are some of the features our site will have, very similar to twitter, but of course will be different to cover any trademark laws ect ect with them.
