		<description>Hahaha.. I WISH at $25,000 I wouldn&#039;t bother commenting I would just laugh my ass off and start another startup or retire :)

Nope its just my identity is well groomed in an area so its not about being secretive as much as protecting my names SEO for jobs, consultancy and all that jazz.  My are is social media and mobile marketing and this article is &#039;fun&#039; and does nothing to improve my reputation if anything my commenting outside my skills could make me look a fool if one of my clients were a lawyer researching to see if they want to work with me.

I am sure this makes more sense now. I love your suggestion though.. YES I AM THEIR CEO :))))</description>

		<description>Guys this is a good first move but I agree with others that it will only delay the inevitable with even their current implementation their &#039;game&#039; is still largely the same.

They still have a huge advantage here.  My thoughts are run a competition - especially if they are making that kind of money - give out a few dozen iPhones and such for the knowledge that results.

The competition would be to explore how best their game could be changed and IMPROVED beyond its current format.  Ask their CURRENT users this question because they are not necessarily Scrabble fans and may have never played Scrabble which means they haven&#039;t been programmed to think the game must only be this way.

Things they could do are including right-left words in Mandarin and Cantonese. A 3D board. A board that uses to or three planes of axis.

Sky is the limit for these guys and they have a genuine opportuntiy to evolve the game. Once they have the new game and are trialing it they should launch it under a new company protected from their current company in every legal way and if Hasboro kills the current company well then at least they have another one that they promoted to their scrabbulous users and that they helped to design too.

Its a long comment but it is would it is, and please ignore the spelling errors I just couldn&#039;t be bothered to fix them since I am commenting under a false name (obviously).</description>

		<description>Amit, I just meant that they did the right thing now. The credit lies with the brothers :)

By the way you missed another point. They declared that they were making a good $25k on it monthly, and suddenly after that they got sued.

I think it is a good strategy to keep people guessing about your numbers.</description>
