Strutta launches online games with user videos–and I have an exclusive game for you!

Vancouver-based Strutta has finally launched to the world after being a hot presenter recently in Vancouver.  Strutta was on a lot of people’s lips at SXSW and I begged for an invite (yes, begged).  Jordan Behan emailed me last week with a heads up that they were launching today.

Other folks got in first with their reviews:

The Strutta site is built around the idea of online video competitions. Users can challenge each other in video-based Battle-Royales for bragging rights, nerd notoriety, and geek glory, or simply vote on entries in the various ongoing games. Source: Strutta Puts On Its Game Face

Techcrunch and Mashable did their thing I have something none of them have–an exclusive “Best Canadian Joke” game!

That’s right no one else is talking about their own game, but I have one!  Heh!

Enough bragging, okay maybe a little more later, but what is Strutta?

Strutta: Online games with a new twist

Strutta isn’t about building a “friends network” or sharing your goofy LOLcats, it’s about submitting a video that you think is the best in a game.  Like my, exclusive to MapleLeaf 2.0 readers best Canadian Joke game, you put up a video and people vote and the most votes wins.

I browsed around and there are the pet videos (not lolcats, but there was a dog howling like a police siren), or tech or whatever.  To play you just sign up, sign in, watch a video and vote. 

Simple, easy.

So why now?  What’s hot and new about this?  This tells me that technology has really taken another great jump forward.  So many people have built-in webcams that you can just easily make a quick video and post it.  Like Seesmic we can now just make and share video in an instant.

Will I go lots to play?  Lots?  No, but I think it might be a nice break from RSS feeds.

Now, what’s your best Canadian joke?
