Any suggestions for getting WinWorld back out there and popular?

I've added metatags to WinWorld and set up Google Custom Search to help with indexing.

As much as I hate to say it... Digg, Del.icio.us, things of that nature.

There's only like 5-6 people I have friended that I haven't met in person before. This is for a reason, a very good reason....

UPONCPU

Because Facebook sucks?

Facebook is for people that you _already_ know in real life.

If you do it the other the way around, you're either
a. a creeper
b. a 13 year old that thinks you can date people over the internet

No. Facebook is for assholes who think the internet is for whining about how shitty their real lives are.

Children, please.

No. Facebook is for wasting time playing farm ville or some other app while deluding yourself into thinking you're being social.

Some people actually use facebook to talk to other people that they actually know.

I am however under the impression that 90% of the people on the internet hate facebook just because they don't have any friends to talk to.

UPONCPU

Haha, probably. My problem is that I have more friends that want to talk to me than I want to talk to. Especially on the internet. Besides, what so bad about talking to friends face to face? Pufh... Kids today.
*Walks off muttering distastefully*

It's not always possible to talk to people face to face, especially when they live far away.

Me, I actually use fb to talk to people and have never played farmville.

UPONCPU

Don't care, you're still a tool.

BlueSun

I have no need to use facebook to talk to people. If I know them, I have their phone number or email address and I can contact them any time I want.

I usually prefer anti-socail networking over social networking sites so don't use most places at all.

Also by anti-socail I mean as in not bothereing to talk to people etc, unless I need to not casuing anarchy and destruction.

I for one am against FB and its ilk, Google Buzz came to my inbox recently and my first step was to get it disabled.

I may exclude services like Twitter if I find special use scenarios (eg. server status updates) but in general, Twitter is for twits.

UPONCPU

That's the spirit! Who wants to go to a forum that isn't full of smarmy cynicism?

BlueSun

I'm not against the idea of sites like facebook or twitter, just that I personally have no use for them.

Facebook works for keeping in contact with people you don't see anymore due to leaving school/college/changing jobs.

Believe it not kids, people do exist who *don't* use MSN/AIM/IRC.

BlueSun

The only people I want to keep in contact with from high school don't use facebook.

Swifto

Facebook has great potential for cyber-stalking.

I'm kinda sick of people doing it to me.

UPONCPU

...Sorry.

Swifto

Oooh, I like your stalking.

Your sister's, though..
