Most of the judges liked WooMe best – I agreed. It was by far the most impressive company in this group – very impressive and I agree that people will use the speed session platform well beyond dating.

I wonder how long the buzz for community/social networking is gonna lots. With so many new good startups entering the market share, it is going to be a tough market in coming years.

I expected a lot more from Areae (worst name ever; thank god they changed it)

Areae is the company’s name.

Metaplace is the product’s name.

Flowplay is pretty cool and I am going to look into it further, but while we are on the topic of virtual worlds, has anyone had a chance to look at http://www.citypixel.com lately? Very interesting stuff going on there.

You can’t write “Ahhh…breasts.” on blog. Some people here might find it very offensive. You can ask anyone in upper class or middle class families.
It’s like saying “N” word to blacks.

Anyways, I never seen an wealthy actor say “Ahhh…breasts” on TV. I remember how NBC reject howard stern for saying such word like “b*tch, breast, penis, etc”.

Don’t really understand the Metaplace thing. Who is the intended audience? Is it a toolkit for developers to build virtual worlds (mostly in 2D and 2.5D a la Habbo, Cyworld, Gaia) or is it a gathering place and community for end-users or both? Frankly, I expected a lot more from Areae (worst name ever; thank god they changed it) given all of Ralph’s posturing over the past year. Disappointed….

Lots of talk from the panel about Zivity’s success being a given. One thing they never made clear was: what’s the motivation to vote (and hence everyone in the chain getting paid)?

I was impressed by WooMe, mainly because of the huge potential for users to start using the site in totally new, unintended ways.

Areae must be loving all the money it is making from that parked page being featured. Whoops!

By the way, BOTH links for Areae are wrong. The crunchbase link tries to go to metaplace instead of areae, and the Areae site link tries to hit .com instead of .net.
