I havent tried SlingDot ... but this is my thought - You want people to come play the games because they are FREE, just like Pogo did - Then once ya get em hooked, is when you offer more exclusive games ... to me its just smart business.

This does bring to mind though  I wonder if   POGO will now push out their   POGO pets earlier to  try to  beat  Slingdot....

Doubt it.  Unless it gets to the point where Pogo feels that SlingDot is a competitive threat, I can't see them trying to one-up them.  Plus, with all the technical issues Pogo's been having lately, (*puts on flame-retardent suit*) they would be smart to take their time before releasing any new features/games until they're proven to operate as intended.

I mean, after all, if MS knew to pull their collective heads out of their arses and live beta products before rushing to release them...

bad thing though is that 90% of their free games  suck  LOL   :))

also they seemed to post this  to my question on the boards

You are incorrect, only 1 title (Omaha Hold'Em) in the next 2 months of releases will be in the Free section of games, as very clearly stated in the current News Spot article. There will be a minimum of 5 new games added to the DotSpot between 3/15 and 4/30.

Additional features shortly to make their way to the site:
1. Pals Lists - end of March - unlimited Pals for members, free users limited to 3 Pals
2. Game Ranking System - end of March - members can earn Master Level Stamps not available to nonmembers.
3. SlingPets - early April - two SligPets (one dog, one cat) available to free users. 20+ available to members and future SlingPet features will be limited to members only.

...and of course current features:
1 to 1 chat
Triple Dot Awards - You refer to this as "old news." I'd direct you towards the drawings winners - 85% of which have been DotSpot members.
Access to existing DoSpot Games
Current and future members only Quests and Stamps (72% of Quests thus far have been memebrs only)

So the short answer is, in the next 60 days members will get:
5 or more new exclusive games
8-10 new members-only Quests and Stamps
5 features with the majority of functionality being members-only
And most of the cash we'll be giving away

How's that?


LOL

pals list -  another rip off of  a pogo idea
game ranking----  this was to come out  first week of march  now it seems  it  has been pushed to  Late march    (doubtful probally april )
SLINGPETS----    cant they stop  ripping pogos ideas off   ,, i mean come on slingdot  come up with your own  freaking ideas   (early april)

This does bring to mind though  I wonder if   POGO will now push out their   POGO pets earlier to  try to  beat  Slingdot....


ALSO

8-10 new members-only Quests and Stamps

interesting  since  stamps are only given out   3 at a time  in 15 day cycles......    I wonder if this means they will start pushing out more then 3 at a time  or    Making them  1 at week badges 


5 features with the majority of functionality being members-only

they listed  3  so    I wonder what the other  2  are....

this summer  will be a interesting time to see how slingdot   does.... I still say if they cant pull  something major out of nowhere by the end of summer  they  will just be another  BLEH  place to go
