Mo' money for HQ

I've learned that nothing gets less reaction on this blog than posts about HQ, the online interactive game show.

But what the hey, the biggest game show story today is how HQ has scored $15 million in venture capital. Lots of pundits are hoping that the new money will mean less lag and bigger prizes for all the HQ-ties out there. More than two million quizzer fans tuned in on Sunday night.

Unlike the Oscars HQ is getting a bigger and bigger audience, not a smaller and smaller one. A Tech Crunch story speculates on the show's future, though the writer sounds mostly hopeful. Imitators have swarmed to the online universe, of course, but Scott Rogowsky and company have stayed a step ahead so far.

One more note: there were some nasty stories a while ago about one of the show's creators. As so often happens, the stories were long on anonymous sources and short on verifiable details. I thought the campaign was mostly just a media black ops effort, and it doesn't seem to have affected the show's search for investment money.
