We received an in-depth article on The Go Game today in an article by Chris Dannen of Fast Company, with a wonderful write up that includes this quote:
"You might say that The Go Game, an iPhone game launching this week at SXSW, is the best-researched project in the history of location games. Founders Ian Fraser and Finnegan Kelly have spent the last 10 years running a hacked-together version of the game at corporate team-building events for Google, Apple, EA Games, Zynga, Facebook, Microsoft and Intuit."

Danna writes: "It's tempting to think of Frank as a throwback, but the more of his TED talks you watch, the more you realize his timing might be extremely adept: after all, other smart startups here at SXSW, like Scvngr, The Go Game, and Christopher Poole's Canvas are also thinking about the purity of fun on a very high level. "It's a great time to be visually extravagant and wondrous on the web," he says, because social networks like Facebook are so heavy-handed about how profiles look. "Star.me works because we need it now." http://www.fastcompany.com/1738335/bringing-back-the-messiness-of-myspace
