Can’t believe Acer choses this company to deliver Avatars… A 10 minutes google research will show there are better avatar provider companies around that will be happy to partner Acer… Sorry for them.

why does it matter if it’s bundled with Acer products– who uses bundles software anyway? lame

Ariel, you keep your doubts to yourself, and let the company grow!!

You may be first but your insight regarding this article is anything but. I don’t quite understand all this hype around social media myself, locator guy said something that seems to make sense but I don’t quite grasp yet. Anyways, this does open-up privacy issues in my mind, first, why does a computer need to have your personal info to begin with? Second, what right do they have to publish it all over the web? I am buying a computer, not a method to be marketed to.

Acer? Packard Bell? I am convinced that all the start up dorks are chronic masterbaters. Go get a real job and quit wasting time and money. Is this what your parents paid for when they sent you to Stanford?

this is a rip off of http://www.mEgo.com which has been around a lot longer…i’m one of the founders, and lucky for us, we have a far superior product – if any of the urfooz have the guts to talk, contact me: ariel@mego.com and view http://www.mego.com – although i’m sure they’ve seen it. i guess copying is the biggest form of flattery. We really believe in user empowerment and making sure identity is kept in the control of the users and not a private company. We have a long term vision, of which i doubt urfooz can keep up.

This is Hot News. This is going to be Open Social Cloud Computing at its finest. Terrible domain name but they are definitely on track. who wants to be “imprisoned” in one social site when they can syndicate with all of them in one sitting. kinda like power.com but the opposite. power pulls into one, and fuhu pushes out social widget id syndication to all. welcome to the cloud.
