Last week we played with an idea and launched a new site - SooperStars.
SooperStars is like an inverted twitter. You don't post what you're up to or what you're going or where you are. Instead, you post these things about your friends. Quick test shows that it may be a lot more fun! In real life, very often we participate in conversations when everyone says "I" and "me" and "my" way too often. Try saying something about others and the whole talk becomes more interesting and engaging.
At SooperStars, you post notes like:
@max is at home, browsing Internet.
@julia is a gorgeous woman.
@alex spent 2 hours talking about network with me on the conference, he's really knowledgable.
etc.
Thus, when you see someone's profile you can see things that others know/think about this person, as opposed to what he says about himself. If you create your own profile and invite your friends, you'd be surprised with occasional notes about yourself. You can confirm notes about you or about others.
There's a more to it, but you'd better try it first. We even added a random video chat (ala Chatroulette) to discover new people and send notes about them.
Take it as a social experiment and a byproduct of some experimentation with software. If you like the way it works, let us know. If you don't, don't let us know :).

I agree with the others on this thread that say you shoudn't be wasting your time - especially since a key dev seems to be getting a little distracted from the more pressing issue of fixing D7

If you need any help Uno, let us know here! we should chat =)
This has encouraged me to continue my integration of StatusNet into Dolphin.
It looks to me like D7 is going to go the way of D5 & D6 now. D7 seems to be an afterthought. Figures
They have meds for ADHD now - fyi.
In this vein, I'm also waiting for the day when Andrew finally upgrades the WordPress setup at andrewboon.com to use Boonex Blogs. =)
