Thanks. The primary way to earn points is to bump songs. If songs you bump get bumped by others, you'll earn points. The green bar shows a user's progress en route to the next level. I'll leave you to figure out what the 1 and 2 mean!

I agree. I met Wayne & Robbie at a YC tea (the day after a rehearsal demo, which I heard they rocked), and immediately fell in love with the way Zenter actually leveraged the web to make presentation software BETTER.
