Poker Networking Site Caters to the US

With the ever-growing popularity of online networking, and the growing draw to poker, it was only a matter of time until they were brought together. The newest combination site is K9Poker.com. This site brings together two of the most enticing aspects in American culture today.

The movement into the social networking world has been sought by some of the largest internet companies in the world. The goal: new avenues of marketing. Sites such as MySpace.com and YouTube or Cherry Tap/Fubar are amongst the highest viewed social locations online. One example of the draw into the social networking world is when News Corp purchased Intermix Mediea Inc,. owner of MySpace for $580million. Another more recent example is the purchase of YouTube.com by Google for more than 1.5 billion dollars.

Internet Poker has been brought to the common household by the ever-expanding popularity of the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. Both are televised and watched by millions of viewers every episode. In addition to this, online poker rooms such as Party Poker and Bodog Poker have grown in popularity, drawing in more than 25 million unique visitors from within the US and around the world, every month. Even though the UIGEA - Unlawful Internet Gambling Act of 2006 - passes last October, it has not hindered poker in any way. Playing Poker, at home or elsewhere, remains one of the most popular pastimes worldwide.

K9Poker.com was begun by amateur poker players, and is designed to bring people together through their common interest in playing poker. Daily across the country there are thousands of home games, and poker tournaments. Now players have a place to publicize these games to other people who want to play. K9Poker also created a place for the members to blog on the topic, learn more about the game and it's many facets, discuss poker with others who enjoy the game, design a poker profile, and most fundamentally establish a network of poker friends.

This site has a potential for explosion, as its design accommodates even the most novice of internet users, and all levels of poker player. This will create a venue for many to find the community growth and poker know-how they have been searching for. Poised on the edge of infinite growth, K9Poker.com capitalizes on the two most expansive aspects in our society today.
