doof.com - Fabric of the Web
One of my goals for doof.com is that is becomes part of the fabric of the web in its chosen area, namely social games.
This overview of the social media landscape by Fred Cacazza published yesterday, put a smile on my face
Rubadub’s stats
V.2 of doof has now been live for 7 days, that’s 168 hours.
Check out Rubadub’s playing stats below. In the week since the launch of V.2 she has racked up over 26 hours of active game time (not even counting the time she has spent on the community side of things)
Let’s say she sleeps on average for 35% of the week, leaving her with 109 waking hours, that means she has spent just under 24% of her week playing games on doof. 1 hour every 4 logged in and fully active on doof.com
When we say that doof.com is sticky - we really mean it
The doof is on fire
Nice new article on doof from CasualGaming.biz.
Specially like their introduction.
“doof.com’s official tagline couldn’t be more appropriate. ‘Addictive gaming. Social networking.’ It perfectly sums up the company’s aims – to seamlessly fuse the two internet phenomena of the last decade.”
CasualGaming.biz is fast becoming a really useful resource - I wish Tim and all the guys there the best of luck.
World of Web 2.0

Not hard to remember why I was so glad to stop working in the City.
doof ist nicht doof!
Surprising at it may seem, people in Germany think we named doof without knowing what it meant in German.
Inevitably whenever a review about doof is posted online, some German joker comes along and posts a comment, or a full review on their own website (thanks for the links), along the lines of ” ha ha, don’t they know that doof means stupid in German”.
Their comments always remind me of old-school Beavis & Butt-Head where they snigger to each other thinking how clever they are whilst not realising that the joke is on them and they are the biggest dumb-asses in the room.
“Hey Beavis, let’s pretend we’re dead.”
“Yeah, heh heh, heh heh, that would be cool.”
Our decision to name doof was made in the full knowledge of what the word meant in German. Our rationale, who cares what the Germans think!
Having said that, along comes a review today on major German site Ehrensenf, with the title doof ist nicht doof, doof is not stupid! About time they got with the program!
The German People have been redeemed.
