Here's the kicker, though, folks - when are we gonna start seeing some outrageous mashups based on all the google api's? i mean - really outrageous stuff - like a full-fledged social networking website built primarily on the GData apis? Google Base. Personals. etc. Gonna get hectic. 2.0 definitely hasn't peaked yet. just heard about a new environmental social networking-type site on Hugg.com:

Unfortunately, this site is going to get big for a while. And, unfortunately, people who aren't usually dare junkies are going to become dare junkies in order to impress their online association. And, unfortunately, people are going to get hurt. I realize they have a "legal board" but that's not going to stop some mom and dad whose son broke his leg jumping from a rooftop to a trampoline to the hard side of the pool deck from suing them. I guess it's good for the web site that they have all this stuff on video as evidence, but that could work both ways. If the kid is screaming "I love darejunkies" as his left leg is shattering, then that's probably not good for the website. Natali is right. Unfortunately, this site is going to get big for a while.

It could fly if executed well. There are a lot of people who like to watch others doing crazy things and quite a few people who don’t mind being a “Jackass” for 30 seconds of fame. I would think it is helpful for the company to be associated with TV shows like AFV or Girls Behaving Badly. I wouldn't be surprised to see some videos made for the challenges on this site end up on one of these TV shows one way or another. That will at least be great marketing for DareJunkies.

I think Darejunkies has the "velcro" to be big. And unfortunately for Darejunkies, that could be it's own undoing. Granted, they have a legal staff that reviews "dares" before they are actually posted, but there are simply toooooo many greedy - um, I mean "hungry" - lawyers out there that are willing to jump on the first opportunity to "make a buck" ... assuming there actually exists a pie to slice, which when Darejunkies takes off, there will be plenty of pie to go around ... to the lawyers, that is! (Um, our legal system is kinda silly, but basically if you can get sued and lose to a criminal whom you shot while robbing you in your own home, I'd think the prospects of nobody suing Darejunkes and winning is tenous as best?)
