Hey I was just wondering do you do all the writing yourself or do you have guest writers. I’m enjoying your blog. Thanks.

I have to agree that it’s sad that all the top games are partly successful by feeding off of human nature and it’s weakness’s, I would much rather see great games be on top that are just truly great games. That aside, very interesting read, nice article.

Hi there! Long time no see!

I would never say that I beat Danc to anything.

I will write more about the break down of now Social Networks work in a future post. But suffice to say that the Wikipedia article actually does a great job of that. I will start applying it to Social Networks and how the Internet works.

But I have an even better post that I will forward to Danc, actually. I think this may even surprise him.

Ha, looks like you beat Danc to posting Part 3 of his Flash Love Letter!

Useful post, though I would have liked to see more elaboration on how Connectors, Mavens, and Salesmen apply to the viral distribution of Facebook games.

It’s too bad that the sticky games are the ones that are the most life-drainingly addictive, that play on obsessive-compulsive behavior. I wonder if it would be possible to succeed while still giving the player the freedom to choose to play for reasons that will enhance their lives somehow…
