site breaks the back button and doesn't seem to really present any way of fighting the overwhelming network power of facebook/myspace.

in southern california, myspace is for the unwashed masses (who would have been using aol in 1998), facebook is for college kids, and everything else can go fly a kite.

flash interface makes me want to die. then again myspace makes me want to die, so what do I know?

The back button works on iilwy.

There is no need for a site like this to be done in anything other than flash. It's meant to be a place to go to waste some time, nothing more, nothing less.

The Web equivalent of, "Get off my lawn!" ;-)

My first impression is that it is more like a virtual online space than a 'site'. A nightclub, instead of a Wally World. It doesn't feel as dirty as Myspace.

I think I'd say its more like Chuck E Cheese than a nightclub.

flash is great. they've built a great flex application and that is no small feat without hard work and talent, but it's the minor UI details that they chose that's irking me.
