romour has it, they don’t even have a line of code done yet… but who listens to romours?

another amusing thing for non german speakers: the sing “popular without an r at the end”… sounds funny

No big whoop. A public events/calendaring system with a “similarity” engine embedded. Throw in the social aspects (i.e. friending, chats, forum, walls, etc.) to tie folks together through the similarities of what people did or will do.

You saw a bunch of Grateful Dead concerts back in the day and you are a XXX meet-up attender, why so am I – friend me.

What is it about a fairly nice female ass with non-thong panties or bikini bottom on it?

This type of marketing campaign has worked in the US already. It wasn’t for a start up, but there was a campaign of posters and billboards spread out all over (well I saw them in NYC, DC, and Miami). All they said was “Gump Happens” then whatever the release date was. They had no picture/mention of what it was, who was in it, etc. All you knew is that whatever Gump was, it was happening on day. From what I recall, it didn’t do so shabby in the box offices. True, as the day drew closer, they did expand on the marketing campaign a bit, but I definitely remember there was some hype about “wtf is gump?”
