DNS Platform for Meeting People and Playing Games



myYearbook, a website that makes meeting new people fun and easy online and on your mobile phone, has introduced “myYearbook Live,” to its 25 million members.

This new addition, myYearbook Live is known to be a social gaming DNS platform that matches users together by preferred age, gender and location and provides the ability to play synchronous, multi-player games with live video chat.

People who are already well versed with myYearbook will soon have access to high quality games from leading gaming developers who join OMGPOP, Viximo and Heyzap in building applications on the live DNS platform.

The new developer partner list includes: Come2Play, the first white-label social gaming platform and developer of popular social games like Nine Ball and Coiny Coins; Lexulous, makers of the multiplayer crossword game of the same name; Absolutist, one of the leading developers of multi-platform casual games like Bubble Shooter, Clusterz and Mysteriez; and Geewa, makers of online multiplayer games like the timeless board game, Reversi.

Catherine Cook, founder of myYearbook, said that myYearbook Live brings the visceral social interaction one gets with a real-life board games or card games to the Web.

Cook said, “We started from the premise that WHO you play is as important as WHAT you play. In the last five years, we’ve never seen more positive feedback on a new product launch than this one.”

Also, the newly introduced program will enable users to use different new games with real-time video chat to provide an interactive experience like no other when meeting new people online, in-tune with myYearbook’s social graph of users who don’t just want to play with the people they already know, but with the people they want to know.

“We are excited to bring Lexulous to myYearbook and enable users to have video chats while playing our game,” said Jayant Agarwalla, co-founder of Lexulous. “myYearbook’s highly engaged audience is an immense DNS platform to showcase our award-winning word game to a broader market and we’re thrilled about the possibilities.”
