Raptr Launches 1337 Gaming Network To The Public
September 04, 2008 at 00:00 AM EDT
Raptr , the social network that revolves around gaming, has launched in public beta. The robust site allows users to keep tabs on what their friends are doing throughout the gaming world, and also offers gaming recommendations, accomplishment updates, and a host of other features. The site is designed to appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike. In fact, Raptr avoids using the term "gamer" entirely, instead choosing to describe itself as a "social platform for people who like to play and discover games" - founder (and former competitive gamer) Dennis Fong says that many people associate the word "gamer" with a hardcore audience, but Raptr is for everyone.
