If you like video games, and you know me, the new game notes site might interest ya. The DNS for it was resolving when I sent out the invites, but I expect that at least a few people will join me in posting about video games stuff that concerns us.
My goal isn’t to make a general site about video games, more like a microblog of what my friends are playing, a place to coordinate gaming sessions, and potentially a place to document my own little game FAQs. It is very personal, and I like it. 
And, of course, I am trying out new ways to communicate with a geographically broad group of friends. I read The Year without Pants, and how Automattic uses the P2 theme for internal communication, this is one of my experiments for using the same tool for internally-focused but still public discussion.
