I just got a NYTimes news alert that S&P is in fact holding off on downgrading the US based on the math error that was discovered. Did anyone else see that come through? Is NYT just behind a little?

Yeah, agreed, a video or demo is definitely needed. I think we're going to deploy a sample game soon to try and give everyone a preview. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for checking it out.

Could a business model be wrapped around pairing blogs with relevant sponsors? Obviously some possible issues with this (sponsors can't control the message) but it's a little more unique than standard display ads. Example - Qomments for "Ia

And the Ent division is going to keep growing. For example, the PSN issues will likely boost xbox live's user base.

this reminds me of one of PG's articles where he says something to the effect of - pursuing a startup is like taking a lifetime worth of work and condensing it into a short period of time. In the end you hopefully end up enjoying more of yo

I think Yes. They can fold their other ad properties in to improve the offers for businesses, which is a huge win. Consumers will probably use any social buying service that has a good deal. Winning over the businesses that offer the deals
