The Game Channel is a centralized repository from which visitors can springboard to games that match their tastes across the Internet.  From the core group of games, users can play and navigate to more and more games of their choosing.

“As Wasabi Media Group’s family of gaming sites grows,” stated Michele Pesula Kuegler, Director of Content for Wasabi Media Group,”the Games Channel becomes an even more important resource for our visitors, providing a central location for their gaming needs.”

The Game Channel is open to other online game providers to join the “Friends of WMG Games”.  Providers can apply to have the Game Channel link to their site, providing increased traffic flow from players in their direct target market.  Information on adding your link to the site is available by contacting info@wasabimediagroup.com.

Wasabi Media’s Game Channel focuses on substance over style.  The games on the site feature straightforward rules, basic graphics, and surprisingly addictive game play.  The initial launch of the site will feature three such games, with links to many more.  “Ball Crazy” is a game that tests visitors’ ability to avoid contacting the floating balls of various sizes by moving the mouse.  “In Order Genius” is a straightforward memory game that requires great attention and recall.  The final primary game is “Quick Twitch”, which tests the users’ reflexes, challenging them to tap an ephemeral target before it disappears.

Wasabi Media Group is a subsidiary of Wasabi Ventures, which is a different kind of venture capital firm made up of three distinct, but connected aspects: venture funding, start up advising, and incubation.  For more information about Wasabi Ventures LLC, go to http://www.wasabiventures.com or contact Tom Kuegler at tk@wasabiventures.com.

SAN MATEO, CA (June 2009) Wasabi Ventures LLC, an innovative venture capital firm with a diverse portfolio of Internet-based endeavors, announced their latest online project this week with the unveiling of www.songjournals.com.

Song Journals is a collaborative online project that allows users to share their memories and emotions inspired by the songs that move them.  Song Journals blends audio, video, and text files in a unique interactive experience that unites users by sharing not just their favorite music, but the feelings and thoughts that make the music personally meaningful.

“Music is the most moving all of the artistic forms of expression,” said Tom Kuegler, Managing Partner at Wasabi Ventures. “Song Journals uses this call to emotions and partners it with social media technology allowing people to share their memories and feelings that songs cause in them.”

Unlike other music sites, Song Journals focuses less on the music itself than on the user’s interpretation. Whether it’s the memories of a grandfather inspired by the crooning of Sammy Davis Jr. or an old girlfriend brought to mind by Primus’ rampaging guitars, Song Journals gives registered users the forum for their musical musings.
