Recently Amazon announced the availability of european data-centers for their EC2 service. At Jawaker, we happily received the news; now our users (mostly from the middle east) will have access to our service over links with much lower latency (no trans-atlantic links to traverse).
Jawaker has been smoothly running in the EU availability zone for almost two weeks, and is now even faster and more responsive.
Enjoy :)
Jawaker is very social by nature; cards games are more fun to play with your friends. This is why we decided to emphasize the social aspect of Jawaker by creating a Facebook application. Facebook was our social network of choice because of the great amount of traffic it gets from Arab countries, which means that our audience likes it! Also, Facebook provides a very nice API, which allowed us to integrate Jawaker with Facebook both easily and beautifully.
Now, how does this work? It is pretty easy, all you need to do is have a Facebook account, and add the Jawaker application to your profile. Don't forget to bookmark the Jawaker application to be able to easily access it in the future.
Once you have the application added, you can link it with your Jawaker account by logging in with your Jawaker credentials on the linking page. This allows us to know which Jawaker account is yours. If you don't already have a Jawaker account, you can always register for free. You can also invite your friends to add the Jawaker application.
Once you and your friends have added the application and linked it, you can start creating private games from inside the Jawaker application. Your online friends will be notified about the new game, and they will see it in the Network Games box, where they can click on it to join you.
Don't forget, the more of your friends join, the more it is fun for everyone!
If you have any ideas or suggestions to make our Facebook application better, please leave a comment.
Jawaker is proud to announce the launch of its first new game; Trix Complex. Jawaker was originally launched with only one game and has now added a new game called Trix Complex, which is a popular variation on the original game Trix. This means that players will now have the option to play either game and will also notice that we have included separate gaming rooms for each of these two games. If you don't see your favorite card game on Jawaker yet, don't worry, because we plan on launching other card games in the near future to cater to every subset of our card playing audience!
