   I feel the same way about Boxee. The Boxee netflix app is painful to use. It's so much faster to load up Netflix on the iPad and then use Airplay to stream to the Boxee.

    I don't think people who are using social media for personal use would pay for it, but people who are using it for business might. Maybe pricing that works out so it is free for general users and has a low price point for "pro" users?

    I need to have some demo of what is going to happen on a site before I use facebook connect or give you any login information in any way. Requiring a logged in user to use the site should not be the first step.

    Another interesting point is that the Oatmeal started a reddit-like site called http://bearfood.com 25 days ago. I wonder if that could make him be considered a "competitor" to FunnyJunk in the eyes of the law.

    The picture of the bear is substandard to the other work on his site. It is intentionally petty and juvenile to draw the comparison that the letter from FunnyJunk's lawyer is petty and juvenile.
