SockAndAwe game to foot the bill for PopJam – via eBay
The site has now been featured on Reuters, AFP and many other mainstream sites.
Today the site got half a million unique users only two days after launch. Now Tew has put the game up for sale on eBay as a further promotion. Bidding starts at £100 GBP.
Of course, the eBay listing will simply add fuel to the PR fire. It’s certainly a novel way to raise financing for a startup.
Here is the information from the eBay listing:
SockandAwe.com has gone viral on a massive, global scale. Here are some visitor stats (at time of writing, 9:02pm UK time, 17th Dec)

– 823,906 Unique Visitors so far today alone (17th Dec)
– 9,533 sources and mediums of traffic (that’s a lot of inbound links!)Oh, and in the game itself: over 21 million virtual shoes have successfully hit president Bush’s face so far!
UPDATE: Entrepreneur Brendan McLoughlin has bought the game for £5215 on ebay.
