  1. @glennbroadway Raining? In late November? Either you've moved or you're joking. (*checks Glenn's forecast*) Wow. It'll never stop, will it?
  2. Another name for "actually-social games" of the persistent-community kind: "Massively Social" (credit: Nexon's Daniel Kim, #cyberposium)
  3. @simeons OK, Sim, here's the Q'n: why *IS* Blockbuster still in business. (I've a theory I don't much like.) And: for how much longer?
  4. I like @nabeel 's phrase: "actually social" games. Because "social game" is taken/wrong, and "CMMO" is narrow/obscure.
  5. RT @nabeel: Butterfield's (Flickr) startup is in the next hot market. I call it "actually social" games. http://bit.ly/71GN0k
  6. @SarahCortes My pleasure, Sarah! Of course, having attended HBS, I should know to bring th metrics. (online soon at www.scherlis.com )
  7. I'm back! (You didn't miss me?) And I'm speaking at Harvard B-School's Cyberposium Conference tomorrow: http://bit.ly/CyberDan15
  8. @JayNeely You mean, like, Larry Gonick's excellent "Cartoon History of" series?
  9. RT @NicoleLazzaro Posting high scores to Facebook or Twitter status is virtually free marketing. Avg 140 friends for each player. #Login
  10. A friend (non-tech) asked: "What's the point of Twitter?" Me: it's microblogging, often useful. As proof, I gave Nicole's Tweet (see next).
  11. @bijan I recall "East coast games" vs. "West coast games" being contrasted 15 years ago. Still, huh?
  12. Boston shuts down for "the running of the marathon", a phrase that sounds to me like "the running of the bulls."
  13. RT @alicejrobison: How to get your NPR name /lc http://tinyurl.com/d4jkkp (via @planetmoney) (This is Dran Mtowambu reporting.)
  14. @JonGrande Nice to connect w you on YAD social medium (on SMOTD?). Am grieved to learn of yr unhealthy weekend-intimacy with Excel.
  15. Congrat's to Exponential Entertainment ( @Hollywoodplayer ) on hiring Jon Grande!
  16. @gehrig38 Curt, you can delete tweets. At least using twitter's web-UI you can. Been there! (Sorry, cannot DM you: You're not following me.)
  17. @kentquirk For "networked iphone apps" you surely want to talk to Paul Neurath at http://www.floodg.com/
  18. Brilliant Haggadah/Facebook cross-parody! Hilarious, while faithful to both genres. http://bit.ly/TweepleGo (via @jokeefe)
  19. Good game- (or political-)theory. Bernard Lewis assaults Weimar-style Israeli electoral system. "Worst...in Free World." http://bit.ly/XDwhC
  20. @ayurshakti Thanks for follow. RE hair-loss: guy I knew rubbed fingernails together. "Reflexology." Worked for him! But he's stubborn....
