What kind of Gift Giver are you?

Scrabulous to Wordscraper transformation not quite a 48 hour miracle!

Firstly I’ve got to say I like the name Wordscraper”

Speaking as an indie board game inventor/publisher I like it. I know from experience that naming your game is far from easy.

And obviously they needed to avoid any resemblance to “Scrabble”

And the speed of development was fast

Well actually not quite so fast.

According to an update that’s visible on Facebook it seems it was fully functional by April 6, 2008

So now I give even more Kudos to the whole affair and to the Agarwalla brothers for having the skill to time their moves.

It’s becoming a well-managed media show and some great strategic execution. I’m wondering what else do they have up their sleeve!

First the wave of coverage all about the lawsuit

Next the wave all about the shutdown

And now a third wave all about the rebirth of Scrabulous as Wordscraper

So all along we thought that perhaps Hasbro has timed their lawsuit to coincide with release of EA’s buggy hacker friendly version of Scrabble

So now we have two not so nimble not so popular not so scalable Scrabble apps from Hasbro and Mattel

And we get a cool new app from Scrabulous that has probably been ready all this time.

Full kudos to them for playing the game. Hasbro and Mattel must be wondering what next.

Maximizing and controlling the release of information and planning their responses is a very smart thing to do.

And in starting with a new app from scratch they achieve two things;

1/ They prove the Hasbro et all that it’s not about being called something like Scrabble
2/ They show they the working effectively with social media is all about speed and timing

Im second guessing lots of stuff here, but the update is there for all to see.

So the big question is how fast will people jump to use Wordscaper?

Well get a good clue tomorrow, but the information broke a bit late to have much impact on tomorrow user numbers.

How much will it grow from around 200 daily active users.

How fast can they get past Hasbro’s Scrabble game that I think had reached 50k users.

Well have to wait and see.

Will Scrabulous users now be encouraged to migrate?
