New PokerNews design - POLL
Februar 21, 2009Hello, folks. As you have already noticed, main PokerNews.com site has changed the design and layout. Some new features are launched as well. Pay some attention to new Online Poker section. There you will find some new sections such as Latest Gossip and Rumors, Online Poker Blogs, Head to Head Interviews, Hands of the Day and of course Room reviews. Also new section about Texas Holdem has been launched. It is for beginning poker players in order to get them acquainted with wonderful game of poker
.What has been done? The column was moved to the left. Now you can see the submenu in the left column as well as top reviews and some special promos. Right column remained for tournament calendar and room reviews. The textual field now is in the middle. i am sure the reviews design will change soon, but shhhh... this is a secret.
I would like to ask you to examine the new design and some pages and tell me your opinion in a simple way - using Poll. If you use Twitter, please RT it.
Thanks a lot. Your opinion is very valuable to us.
UPDATE. Here is poll results after couple of days after the poll was started.
Poll results March 20thAs You can see more than a half liked the new Pokernews.com design, however some of people still feel nostalgic about the old one
That's normal as it takes time to get used to changes. More than quarter thinks we could have done better. Sure, we can never reach the perfectness I am leaving this poll open in case you haven't voted yet and want to vote now. -
Follow us in Twitter!
Februar 18, 2009The latest internet hype is undoubtedly simple service allowing to post 140 characters about everything one thinks, feels, recommends, dislikes, wonders and endorses. This service is micro-blogging derived from status updates and following what your friends are doing. If still not clear what I am speaking about, here is the hint - Twitter.
There are thousands of articles in the media about Twitter with x10 advices how to start and succed, so I am not going into it. Just can tell one thing. If you use email, IM and can read&write, you MUST use Twitter.
PokerNews Also went on twitter some time ago. In the beginning our account @pokernews was registered by some guy who just wrote his email. Probably he wanted to trade the password of this account, so Twitter closed it and gave us the default password in February 4th. Today is February 18th - 2 weeks from the start and today we have 235 followers. That's really good achievement!
@pokernews provides the information what's interesting in PokerNews group of the sites. There are few Twitter accounts which are automatic generators of the tweets (from RSS feed), but they are not live. Pokernews writes live, reacts to questions, sometimes writes some humour or does not understand jokes (remember, I am not native English speaker), makes lots of grammar mistakes, but it is 100% live. I think this is our advantage and we should exploit it in future. PokerNews is a huge information factory with lots of sites and lots of originally written information, therefore we will always have what to share with all poker lovers
.Also @pokernews does not spam. There are some sites which provides really shitty content, but advertise it as if it was 8th wonder of the World. Only sometimes we provide links to the news stories about special PokerNews promos - mainly freerolls which are one of the biggest added value promos in the market. Everyone should agree
Enough boasting. You should be following us in Twitter and will see yourselves. That is really easy and exciting. If you still do not have account, please create one and tell about yourself to all your friends.

PokerNews on Facebook
Februar 12, 2009It's been some time since my last post about Pokernews features. Something has changed now. I will continue introducing the features, only not inside, but outside Pokernews. Now I work as social networking manager, therefore my main focus is on most popular social networks. Let's start from Facebook.
Facebook now is booming. It is translated to 36 languages, therefore there are no more language issues (as some features are really complicated, so difficult to understand for not native English speakers). There are lots of activities for poker players in Facebook. The main one is playing the Zynga poker application Texas Holdem Poker. It is really intersting to see who has got the bigger rankings among your friends...
Facebook has got a very nice feature - being Fan of some pages. So you can be a Fan of Pokernews FaceBook Page and get some updates without visiting Pokernews every day. Now there are no many fans, but once we reach some more, i will organize some added value tournament. We had some in the past and people loved it.
Also we have a couple of Facebook groups with more people
Main Pokernews Group
UK PokerNews Group
IT PokerNews Group for our Italian readers (you all should know that Italian government made poker as not quite legal activity and ISPs ban the rooms' websites)Some time ago we even created PokerNews application, but i will not tell about it as it needs some rework
If you are on Facebook or would like to go there and looking for some activity, please always remember that PokerNews is there. Or myself. I am always glad to make new friends. Check my personal Facebook Profile or search me using my real name - Marius Kuitniauskas.
