Re: Why is PartyPoker the biggest online poker site?
[ QUOTE ]
macs have over 5% market share. that's 1 in every 20 people, which is a significant portion of the market. why do you think full tilt and others are developing mac clients? [/ QUOTE ] the demo/psychographics of mac owners do not add up to a large percentage of them playing online poker - or any poker. if you think these sites didn't do research on this, i would imagine you are incorrect. if they are now developing mac compatibility, it is only because they have eliminated most all of the more profitable software improvements for pc.

[/ QUOTE ] hahah. hi lawrence. you never post no limit hands anymore. i helped start a company that ran on a java platform and had many mac compatability issues. we did extensive research to figure out where to best allocate resources with regard to improving mac compatibility vs adding features to improve the experience of pc users. during this time i learned a lot about who mac users are. this was all done with data. once you have the profiles/data, you can easily apply age old database marketing/relational models to figure out what these people like/don't like, how they spend their leisure time etc. so, my knowledge of who mac users are, and how they fit into the world allows me to state that they are not very important when it comes to online poker. there are numerous books about this stuff if you are still perplexed. crystal ball would have been sweet though.
