make it look more like iminlikewithyou, less like my physics303k homepage

definitly needs more flash, bigger pictures, better graphics, make people want to stay around and browse people and their dares and whatnot. I didn't really look around enough but if u dont have flickr and twitter integration, get it done

Yeah, I have to admit graphic design is lacking, though I've just been doing what's passable.

I can see how flickr integration would be a boon. How does twitter figure into it? As far as I can tell, you can't post pictures in a twit.

I thought the graphics were fine, but I was confused about the purpose at first. Seed it with a wide range of interesting stuff, I almost found something interesting (not the armpit licking) and the map mashup was good, but wrong city for tonight. I'd work on seeding, filtering and showing connections before I'd worry about the 'sheen'.

Hmm, a points system for new things, how cool/hard/prestigous and and points for doing one. But then be careful to moderate dangerous options. Hmmm, yea, lost an arm, but whoa I got a lot of points... Don't wanna see that comment in your forum, eh?

Yes, I worried about that at first. Someone's going to post something like "steal a cop car", and some fool's going to try to do it.

I'll do more work on the things you suggested, especially something more local for everyone. Thanks.
