Interesting. I'm still on the hunt. We'll get the white buffalo yet.

For me, it's the hilarious background music that really sets it off.

It's because I can be anything. The possibilities are endless. Also, welcome!

Second time I've seen you, picklefingers-- guess I'm going to have to add you now.

Holy bejeezus-- a working search function? dies

So how have you been locating chiefless tribes? I'm stymied by Snapzu's layout-- I really wish there was a better way to see the various tribes. It seems kind of opaque.

I like this idea! If that link goes somewhere, I'm joining up! It will be like a strange scavenger hunt.

No way! I'd DEFINITELY have young zombocom buy several! Also-- young zombocom-- please keep ALL your records, old zombocom doesn't care if you need gas to get to your crappy part-time job!

Well, it's a bit like living in a park, isn't it? Not something I'm keen to do, but the park certainly has a place in my day. 8chan, etc are definitely free-for-alls, but I don't think they're exactly a true public space, either. All the government money seems to go towards building faster and faster "roads" online, but so little thought has gone into creating a destination of any sort.

There is a real need for public spaces online, that are maintained for the public use. Unfortunately, it's usually the case that online communities exist in private space given a public makeover. Like a mall. You might meet your friends there, but that's not why the space is open for you to do so, and it's under no obligation to let you hang out in groups, or wander about without buying something eventually. I doubt Snapzu is any different. The problem will continue until these sorts of public spaces not only exist, but can compete with privately-run spaces like Reddit, Digg, Snapzu, etc in terms of usability and features.
