I have an online poker background and have been attracted to Amuso for a lot of different reasons. There is a strong management team, a great development team out in Spain, and a product that can monetise communities. I think it is great the sort of deals that are being done by Amuso. Combining micropayments with great publishers seems like a winning strategy. There are many similarities with poker in my experience. The requirement for liquidity, a fun and engaging proposition, a way to make some money all ring true. Quizzes and trivia capitalise on the desire to be or seem cleverer than your peers which adds a great social angle. I think it is definitely a company worth tracking and trying out as there are products and ideas in the pipeline that hopefully should make Amuso fly.
