I was kind of wondering if we should do this for http://www.LiveFanChat.com accounts, eg king of the season at the end of a year etc.

Can you give more details about what you did?

deancognation··on RunPee – Because movie theaters don't have pause buttons
That's because Bollywood movies tend to be on the "longer side" its crazy how short most Hollywood films are now....catering to the short attention spans of their viewers.

having said that.....this app must die, its a terrible idea :)

deancognation··on U.S. Patent Office Cancels Trademark For Redskins Football Team
This has been ruled on previously.....and previously overturned.

So much for the trademarks office being a non-political office - https://www.facebook.com/LiveFootballChat/posts/101523093022...

deancognation··on How do i get more users to http://www.LiveWorldCupChat.com
and that brings us to the crux of the issue...... there was no one chatting in there.

we've built a great app, with gamification elements (eg check out the badges on my user profile http://www.LiveWorldCupChat.com/Dean.Collins ), we have the ability to email friends, send out facebook and twitter links etc.....and no one is using it......

We've had over 5,000 people sign up for the various http://www.LiveFanChat.com sites but just unsure how to get it to progress.

deancognation··on How do i get more users to http://www.LiveWorldCupChat.com
agree with you about traffic, once you get a few people in the chats it works great, especially on the http://www.LiveBaseballChat.com pages. People tend to stay the entire game etc.....but getting them there seems to be the issue.
