Thanks for those of you who have replied -- like I said we're a new site so we're looking for any and all feedback (especially the negative stuff)
Let me respond to a few things:
"shouldn't you have something original in your site rather than just rehashing threads and stories from elsewhere? "
In the future I'd love to have original content - especially interviews and book reviews. However, the idea of a meta-site that 'rehashes threads and stories from elsewhere' is exactly what we want to be. This concept has worked beautifully for sites like Slashdot.org and Fark.com. The thing is this... I spend a rediculous amount of time every day scouring the web for poker content... I wish I didn't have to spend so much time looking and could just read it. Its the same reason I go to news.google.com -- the goal is a one stop place that combines the best content on the web, with new submissions coming in every day. At the end of the day, the sites we're linking from shouldn't mind as we're driving traffic to their site.
"Also, it's pretty bad that you've got a major typo in the first sentence on your homepage. You should probably fix that."
You're absolutely right. Thanks.
"id possibly work on the color scheme. it hurt my eyes "
Again, thankyou. We literally just set this thing up the other day, and I am extremely untalented when it comes to graphics and color schemes. I couldn't tell you the first thing when it comes to colors clashing etc.
"pretty tacky to promote that here (where you are clearly playing off the name of this site). "
Actually, the name of this site had nothing to do with our choice. We had a list of probably twenty possible names, all having something to do with poker. Alot of the choice came down to which domain names were open. Pokerology, Allinyourface, Intheblinds, unraked, tripeights, topkicker, tripnines... etc.. all were in the running. TripTwos won because we didn't want to have to settle for a .net address and I like the hand... its a sneaky one that can destroy the 'big hands'.
Keep the suggestions coming...
Thanks.
