I know just what you mean. It seems to be mostly full of crap – with just little bits here and there that are relevant for you. I visit it very reluctantly – when I get nagged by facebook nudges via email. S i g h
Did you get my comment on your GrE site? I was wondering if you'd be interested in blogs on SciFi/Fantasy/Crime Adventure & HO games. I could focus on their more 'evil' side if you'd like. I got a message saying that before it was posted my comment would need to be vetted by you.
If you are not interested in having these gameson your site that is fine – I am not pressuring you, but offering my services as a possibility. Your new site shows great imagination and finesse. Wish I could make my site more professional, but am still working it all out. It's a bit of a mine-field.
Any news on your turning your Wasteland Diaries into a game?? It would make a great Adventure game – could have amazing graphics.
You probably don't give a stuff what I think, but I am proud of you, filled with admiration for your tenacity and your 'one door closes well open another damn door' attitude – much like my own!
I try not to comment too much in case you think I am intrusive, just a nuisance. But I do like to get comments on my blogs whether I agree with them or not as it means someone is reading them 😀
Hope you reply one way or the other re GrE – which I am following.

I agree with that.

Right. I've commented on it before, but Facebook has changed a lot over the years, and not really for the better. It used to be a very "personal" network — you used to have to explain how you knew every new friend you added! — but over time it's become a real mess of brand pages, "LIKE AND SHARE THIS!!" crap and all manner of other noise. And yet I can't quit it. Granted, this is primarily because my job revolves around using it, but still.

Right, I have no issue with sites that are successfully distinguishing themselves — Pinterest is a good example, as it has a clear, specific target demographic, and it's doing well as a result.

What I was particularly taking aim at in this blog post was the hordes of startups that seem to appear every day with some "great" new idea for a mobile social network that doesn't seem to have been thought through at all. If, after a few minutes of use, you are still wondering "what is this for?" then it has failed.

E.g. Pinterest seems to be doing very well and (just guessing) may have snatched market share from Flick, which is a big one within photography platforms. Pinterest can do the same as Flickr and has a slicker, handier interface.
