Meeting other gamers has never been easier.
Thumbslap is a free gaming portal dedicated to providing a quick and easy way to find players of specific games and arranging gaming events online.
With interest in online gaming at an all-time high, both casual and veteran players are searching online for quick and easy ways to organise games, or to join existing ones.
"I was frustrated with all the phone calls, texts and emails needed to arrange a single match online," says Chris Mahon, avid online gamer and developer of Thumbslap.com, "So I decided it was time for a portal for gamers where the emphasise is on playing games, rather than spending days, and countless emails, just organising them."
Whether it is Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii or Pro Evolution Soccer on the Xbox 360, at Thumbslap.com, gamers can find their next co-op team-mate or multiplayer opponent. They simply search for the game of their choice, then hand pick the best gamer that suits their skill level. They can then either join an existing gaming event or set up their own.
With hundreds of gamers already using the site you can be assured to be in good company. You can find others who enjoy playing the same games as you, discuss tactics, and arrange that inevitable rematch with the guy who got you last time with that "lucky shot" in Grand Theft Auto IV.
"It's like a matchmaking service for gamers," says Pratik, a 'Thumbslapper' (or Thumbslap.com user), "You just set up a game and invite others to join in. It's as simple as that."
