I understand the ' why doesnt it have a facility to create characters ' criticism , but hey its not meant to be a substitute for art school. Also agree about Techcrunch being in dire need of a character, I see a little animated tech guy in a white coat with a magnifying glass closely scrutinising the screen . Boy I'm half way to drawing it already. See what effect Mojizu is having already? Someone should do something about that site......

Man, it feels Great to be alive! The online dating industry evolved from generalist sites like match.com etc., to a growing and thriving number of niche dating sites that catered to race/ethnicity/special interests. Social networks (or Social Entertainment Portals as I prefer to call them) are now rapidly evolving in similar fashion. Enter Mojizu founded by friend, budding dreamer and Orange County resident Ali Sabet. In time I anticipate that the sites traffic will grow towards the ranks of Threadless.com -- not so sure if it will reach Deviantart.com status given its current niche focus but who knows how the site will evolve and grow.
