TEN is Now Pogo
The Total Entertainment Network is changing its name, along with a lot of other things.
After much ado the Total Entertainment Network announced Wednesday that it was changing its name, not to mention a few other things.
Now called pogo.com, the company will still provide online games, though now more along the lines of family card and trivia titles and new, exclusive games like Tube Runner, Void, and Tank Hunter. The games, along with contests and giveaways, can also be accessed through any of pogo.com's 14 partner sites, including Infoseek/GO, Netscape, Alta Vista, and snap.com.
Pogo.com also announced that it will provide its games to the online users of XOOM.com and Snap.com on their own sites.
"Our strategy of partnering with leading Web destinations to distribute our games has been very successful - pogo.com is growing far faster than any other online games service," said Erick Hachenburg, president and CEO of pogo.com. "XOOM.com and Snap.com represent two great additions to our lineup of distribution partners, and we expect to see our usage, reach, and overall traffic continue to rise quickly and significantly by virtue of these new partnerships."
The company also estimates that during launch it hit the 3.5 million mark in members, and pogo.com also claims it garners in nearly 100,000 members every week.
