| World Poker Tour creating networking site |
The parent company of the World Poker Tour is building a huge table of players.
WPT Enterprises Inc. and Chipleaders Inc. are teaming up to create an online social network specifically for poker enthusiasts. The network, which will be accessible from www.worldpokertour.com , will allow users to find and interact with other poker players from around the world.
The site will be powered by Chipleaders technology, and will allow users to create profiles, upload photos, communicate with friends, make new friends, e-mail, blog, organize activities, share information, participate in forums, rank profiles, and schedule events, much like services offered by networking sites such as MySpace or Friendster.
"With millions of poker players in the U.S. and abroad, we can now offer them a dedicated online community which they can call their own," WPTE CEO Steve Lipscomb said in a statement.
Chipleaders Inc. is a privately held company based in Toronto. West Hollywood-based WPT Enterprises (NASDAQ: WPTE) makes gaming-themed products and airs its World Poker Tour television show on the Travel Channel in the United States and in more than 60 markets worldwide. |
