I dunno which of you friended videos_antville but thanks; it's a great feed.

Volity.net's release has improved my mood dramatically, even though I'm as busy as ever. This cartoon is not a terrible summary of how I feel right now. (Maybe NSFW; Contains cute but harmless animated French nudity and tasty dancing Don Ho chicken.)

Hard question

[radtea.livejournal.com]

So when I, as a potential investor, search on "board game web" I get games.yahoo.com as the fourth hit.

Why would I invest in Volity when the needs of online boardgamers are already being met by big-name providers like Yahoo?

This is a serious question, and I really am a potential investor, and I really did do the search because I don't generally throw money at things without doing a bit of background research. Feel free to reply to tom at siduri dot net if making a pitch in public would put you afoul of the investment review folks in the U.S., whom I understand to be uptight about the manner in which information that could be considered a prospectus is disclosed.

I am pondering the best formulation of a reply to this, and may make a separate post out of it (though I'll email you directly as well).

Teaser: The needs of the casual game market are being met today like the needs of the Web-searching audience was being met by Alta Vista in 1997. Oh ho ho ho.
