Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and deep-pocketed financier of a number of Web businesses, including Linden Lab (Second Life) and 37signals, has invested $3 million into the company whose focus is social online gaming.
The lucky recipient of the funds is Kongregate, a site which started in June of 2006, and which currently has more than 4,000 games from 1,600 developers all over the world. According to Scott Harris at SiliconValley, Mr Bezos invested the funds via his personal investment company, Bezos Expeditions.
Currently the site is trying to work on a revenue-sharing system for its developers that would allow the creators of the more popular games to receive a larger portion of the revenue.
