So here's my question: Who's going to be the first to adapt this concept to the English-speaking world as a dating site? First one to do it will be worth low seven figures within two years. Oh, but wait, I forgot: innovation in this country is limited to finding new and inventive ways to spam you with advertising (or scam Google advertisers out of their advertising dollars) instead of actually providing services that users actually find valuable.
I've been saying for a few years that the *real* revolution in web tech isn't going to be scrolly maps or coming up with a new marketing friendly name for something that's been around for years.
It's going to be turning the web into a gigantic MUD. Although I don't have an Xbox 360 , I hear MS and the Xbox Live team have figured this out to great effect.
