About
Picklive is the idea of Pontardawe man Tim Morgan and one of Basingstoke's finest web designers Noam Sohachevsky.
It is backed by Stefan Glaenzer, an angel investor in Last.fm who having had a crack at revolutionising music, now fancies a crack at sport.

Vision
Watching sport is fun. But what if for every sport there was a game that you could play along to live with friends and strangers?
Our vision is to find a live social game for every sport, and then deliver each game to the browser, mobile and internet TV such as Google TV.
Approach
We seek out new opportunities that combine creative insight, live data, real-time technology and big audiences.
And we build stuff that is very hard to build. Picklive mixes JavaScript, XMPP, Ruby and Rails to do new things online. We can safely say that Picklive has never been built before.
