Meet Barry

bbh — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:49:26 +0000

Here at Muzui we recently adopted a new pet. More specifically a beaver called Barry. Exactly where he comes from is anyone’s guess and how he got here is for the one, who threw him through the windows of our penthouse offices, and the furry phenomenon himself to know.

Here’s what we’ve learned about him so far:
in Barry’s mind, his voice is the essence of aphrodisiac, resembling the late Barry White, driving them furry femme fatales crazy. In reality though, Barry sounds more like a blender grinding through frozen peas.

Barry likes women…not beaver.

From what we’ve seen, Barry has a bad temper and we would really appreciate if you didn’t tell him we said so.

Barry insisted we brought a picture from his personal collection. Between what looked like orgies at the zoo, Barry’s own birth and other unspeakable highlights of his life, we decided to go with the mug-shot from Dade County.

Muzui developers, are working on our own turn-based multiplayer backgammon game. The game consists of a Java version for Muzui gamesite, and a Java version downloadable for your mobile phone.

The scoresystem ELO has been modified a bit, to better suit Muzui users - but the moves, features and strategies of the game are left as in the original version.

Its possible, to download the game and challenge a friend online through your mobile phone.

‘Dancing the Bar’, ‘ShutOut’, ‘Straggler’ , It’s all a part of the game, and if you are a good backgammon player, you could have a chance of becoming the #1 player on Muzui.com highscore tables.

But don’t worry, Muzui is enabling a brand new ranking system, so beginner players, can play beginner oponents- more about the ranking system in a later post.

The backgammon game is launched friday next week- so get your game on!

Muzui.com - Official Launch Date: 16.sep 2008

Christian Kock Iversen — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:50:47 +0000

16. sep 2008 marks the official launch date of Muzui.com.

So far, 14.000 users signed up during beta test, and gave us valuable data in performance, usability and bug-search across the website. Bringing a community alive isn’t all that easy, thousands and thousands of webpages dynamically published by user interaction, along with serverside scripting and bandwidth consumption.

Enableling tracking of visitor behavior, turned out to give us a heads-up on whats to come - so we are confident that a launch now would be a smart move.

Press releases are sent out today, so the phone is buzzing with writers/journalists who wants more insider knowledge about the company and the future.

We hope that all visitors on Muzui.com will try the games out, signup for a free profile and interact with friends or coworkers. Its actually kinda addictive once you get the hang of it
