Most games and social media sites require users to enter through a single portal, but a new multi-gateway system could allow users to access games and chat with friends across different websites and devices simultaneously. This new approach would provide a more flexible user experience by connecting gaming and social media platforms through multiple access points like Facebook, Myspace, websites, consoles and handhelds.

1. Most games tie you to one point of entry

4. Even the internet falls prey to this paradigm

6. The user is forced to play/enter the gamespace…

8. … through the system’s own portal

9. But what if the point of entry is changed?

11. A gaming/social gathering portal that connects you to people not just through the game’s site, but also…

12. Through a Facbook Application…

13. A Myspace widget…

14. Or any number of social gathering sites you can think of!

15. Play games with your friends surfing on different websites!

16. Chat with friends playing on a widget while you’re sufring the main site!

17. Why is this exciting?

18. Think of the Implications of this multi-gatewayed user interface!

19. Jump onto Xbox Live…

20. … while your friend hits up his PSP!

21. The combinations for user interface are endless!

25. It’s really quite exciting

26. ^_^
