If you don't get it, then why do you need to know? Obviously it wasn't clear enough to attract your attention, so why waste your time with a product that can't even explain itself clearly?

That's my thinking anyways.

I think social gaming is doomed by default. A person navigates to Facebook or Twitter because each company has identified itself and has locked in to the consumer. Even GhostTown+ has locked in as a personality based around being a social-er Skype. Seeing games and stuff is just a sideshow. People don't go to social networking sites to play games. It's possible to force this behavior (Zynga), but it's been shown and realized that it can't be sustained, and will eventually burn out. (ZYNGA)

double submissions are unnecessary. just a heads up.

I agree. I would prefer to see a demo video of someone else doing it before signing up as well. I don't want social netspam for some product I don't even know if I like yet.

Okay, I am a huge fan of the gay community, but if I was reading the news one morning and saw that Zuckerboy got a Nobel Peace Prize, you know damn well that I would spit coffee everywhere. He's done a lot of good, but he's done just as much bad. I'm not concerned enough to properly counter this article, but I think I've made myself pretty clear.

I hope so. I love the hype for aspiring devs, but most of these demos are shit. I'm sorry for being coarse, but that's just the way the code compiles, I guess.

I'm building a web package in Lua/Kepler. The idea is that you install it, create an admin account, and then decide what you want the site to be. If you want a wiki, then it installs wikimedia and configures all that. If you want a blog, it'll install a custom blog software with lots of extensibility. If you want CMS, then it will install Joomla/Drupal/Whatever, and you can configure all of that. If you want forums, then you can install phpbb/vbullshit/custom forum software.

Right now, I'm mostly designing blogging software and forum software. I plan on making everything first, releasing it all separately, then just packing it all up as a chameleon package once everything is finished.

You know, the usual.
