Launch day

  • Flicker Gaming is officially live and open for business.

  • The site had problems this morning for (hopefully not more than) an hour, for, as far as I can tell, no reason whatsoever. I managed to find the problem and fix it after shitting my pants. Hopefully that didn’t hurt us too much, but since it probably had to happen sometime I’m glad it’s out of the way.

  • Jason Calacanis says that Joystiq hit 1M page views recently with its E3 coverage. That’s great! I’m glad to see game blogs with such wonderful numbers - Congratulations.

  • Sent out a number of “press release” and “we just launched” related materials, probably get about one or two of them actually posted. Anyone with actual pageviews is usually loathe to link away to brand new sites

  • All our ads seem to be successfully running except for the Overture ads - not sure what the deal with Yahoo! is

  • Wrote my first two posts for today - the launch post and one on the rumored Wii pricing. Now I’m off to Disneyland to reward myself / so I don’t obsessively watch the stats all day.
