Slide.com, provider of cool widgets for most popular social networking sites and beyond, is getting wrapped in the March Madness with collegiate themes for their services. I slammed together a quick little slideshow of yesterdays’ Michigan State victory over Marquette to exemplify what they look like!
Stanford is getting trounced in the Tourney. But what do you expect — their mascot is a tree!
…along with the rest of Velvet Revolver
Last night was the big induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the boys of Van Halen. Eddie was hanging out in rehab and [Alex] his brother decided to make a stand and skip the event as well. Velvet Revolver was given the honor of ushering them in with a performance of the classic “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love”; however, it seems they weren’t up to the task.
Slash was focused on making sure his leather pants were tight, his top hat was tipped, and his smoke was lit– when really he should’ve been making sure he knew the opening lick to the song. It was quite embarrassing for all (especially for me as I’ve always found Slash’s ability to play most impressive). Scott Weiland’s vocals were all over the place as were his pathetic dance moves.
The success of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook has spurred a landslide of niche social network development throughout the online world. Many categories of interests, such as dogs and shoes and music, have seen their own online networking platform come to life through the power of Web 2.0 technologies. Now it’s time for video games .
Today, GarageGames has released, to the world, the new video game social networking site, Great Games Experiment (http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com). This site boasts a current user base approaching tens of thousands and tons of games.
The idea of a social networking site for video games is by no means revolutionary; however, the adjoining of all video games (both indie and mainstream) in one central location, with a democracy of users has never before been implemented. This is more than database of video games. On GreatGamesExperiment.com, a user can rate, review, play, download, search for, browse for, [keep inserting verbs here] any type of video game imaginable. Users can also interact with each other on a multitude of levels. Create your own internal network within the walls of GreatGamesExperiment.com by making friends with, tagging, kudo-ing, commenting on other users throughout the site. Users can also band together to form groups.
The main objectives of the site are as follows:
Also, check out the cool badges you can get on the site and post around the web:
