Akoha unveils at TechCrunch50

  • 10th Sep, 2008 at 3:28 AM

I haven’t posted here for months. Not that I haven’t wanted to, but I’ve been working very, very hard on a very, very cool project.


Akoha is our little game that aims to change the world, one good deed at a time. I haven’t been able to tell people what it is, and so much of my life that been dedicated to this project, but it’s been totally worth it!

We’re a TechCrunch50 Finalist, which means we get to go on stage in front of thousands of people and unveil our little project. And we think you’ll like it.

But it is a little stressful.

Yay, I can start including other people now. :-) I really need to find a bit of time to devote to it.

All very exciting. You must be thrilled.

I gotta say, I am very much looking forward to getting my "mystery starter kit".

It is too bad that you guy filled the Unix Pipe Fitter job when you did -- or more specifically, too bad that I was away when it was posted and missed the chance to send in my CV. Akoha looks like a fun place to work.

Alas, it is a fun place to work.

I should know, I haven’t stopped in months!

You guys really need to make a clear, simple intro page. I was surfing around akoha.com last night, and all I could find were news posts that expected you to already know what's going on.

All I can figure out is that it's some sort of game involving social good, which makes me think of freerice.com, but I have no idea if I'm jumping to conclusions. Until your post just now I'd never seen "game" and "good deeds" near each other on your site - just a bunch of pages talking about "changing the world" and a separate page that mentioned it's a game.

Oh, you added a comic that wasn't there last night. That's what I was looking for.

That’s right. We were under embargo by TechCrunch50, so we couldn’t release any details about the product until now.
