New Social Networking for Poker Enthusiasts

Melville, NY, October 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- BigBuzz Communications and Tristate Poker News announced today that they are working together to create the largest and most dynamic web community that will allow poker players to interact with each other and share experiences from a highly interactive website.

BigBuzz is developing a variety of ways for poker enthusiasts to communicate online with innovative technology that will enable players to create personal profiles, upload photos and videos, communicate with friends, email, blogs, organize activities, share information, participate in forums, rank players, and update family and friends on their live tournament progress. In addition, poker players will have ability to exchange information with the professional team at Tri State Poker News during casino events.

“This venture will truly benefit the poker playing community, says Eric Siegel, president of Tri-State Poker News, and we believe that tristatepokernews.com will revolutionize the way poker players interact with one another through unique social dimensions while enhancing the users experience both online and at casino poker events.”

To further enhance the poker player’s experience, staff reporters and players will uplink coverage of live casino events, one-on-one interviews as well as on-site promotions and kiosk registration. With no cost to players and fans, tristatepokernews.com will offer members a dedicated online community with a brick and mortar presence they can call their own Poker Home.

Tri State Poker News chose BigBuzz, the leading web-marketing design team, to develop and launch tristatepokernews.com that will be a Free web-based community for Poker Players of all experience levels from Amateurs to Pros. The site will offer additional features such as: player of the year with a formula and tracking system; up to the minute poker industry news; and national schedules.

Kevin Kelly, President of BigBuzz Communications says, "This innovative idea for a first-of-its-kind social network is idea for our BigBuzz creative team because they get juiced with opportunities to develop dynamic websites like this one."

Current progress on tristatepokernews.com is being made available through “Tales From the Felt” – Eric Siegel’s personal blog: http://tristatepokernews.blogspot.com
