[David] I had a look and did not see anything that prevents us for trying this, it looks like a good idea. Also, I was wondering if you are aware of the details of the following, that I read on the Games Team page : "Surfacing game activity through friends. By showing fewer but more impactful News Feed stories based on friends' activity and social context, we hope to drive new user growth for games. For example, instead of the typical story saying that someone just bought a new item, it could say "Dave, Jonny and 3 other friends" just started playing a game." It could still offer a way to facilitate virality if we know how this works exactly I guess. _______________________________________________ Hackit Bar mailing list - [email protected] Wiki: http://community.hackit.cx/ List: http://community.hackit.cx/ml/ Forum: http://community.hackit.cx/forum/ Ideas: http://community.hackit.cx/ideas/ IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#politis
