• Probably. But watch it already. It's not a new movie anyways.

  • I'll check out the Conjuring, seems I have missed it; has good reviews. I don't necessarily like horror films but it is always nice to come across intelligent horror films.

  • No. I will take a look. Thx.

  • The ones at the end, when the girl sees herself in the mirror, and the boy comes out of his frozen moments to kick the pop pop. It was about owning and facing the traumas of life.

  • Commenting system is the most toughest of all. This is particularly the case when a site, or the thread, grows with large number of people. The obvious problem is this: I have not read all the comments above, and I am still commenting (most often, I won't even comment). The threading does not really help solve this problem.

    Beyond the commenting problem, you are also thin on solving the real problem of identities. The identities you have identified above (pseudo, etc) is superficial and not helpful. The real identity solution lies in 'identifying' the value of either the comment itself, or the commenter and his/her collection of comments. My username here would mean nothing even if it is real (or pseudo) unless you can derive real value out of my comments. Technology has yet to solve this problem.

    Another thin layer here is this old fashioned Likes/heart buttons. What do these buttons provide? Has anyone thought deeper on the value of these like fests?

    Sorry to sound pessimist but so far (I have recently joined) I don't really see anything new or eye-popping innovation towards solving real communication problem. Imzy seems to be gathering old and tried solutions under a new platform.

  • Thanks for your comment, and further read. I'll take a look.

    I'm not a fan of clicking likes or hearts buttons. So, I'll share my likes/heart as a proper comment:

    We started Imzy essentially with the premise that there isn't a one-size-fits-all structure for communities to succeed

    Like.

    It is good to see that you understand that the one-size-fits-all structure is not a good foundation for communities (I would use the word "authentic community" instead of just "community" but the term "authentic community" is a loaded term which requires a lot of context - I am not there just yet with Imzy, since I have recently joined).

    and soon we'll be opening up our developer platform

    I am not sure if technology and technologist can solve the real communication problems of humans, so if you intend to put the technologist in front, to pull the wagon, then I am not too optimistic.

    Anyways, hope to interact more soon.

  • It is good to see the roadmap, thought-process, philosophy etc behind the platform. And as you rightly pointed out, that things could change (glad to hear this right out of the gate, otherwise you'd be one of those many, who started with absolute transparency of No-Ad philosophy, only to change course later).

    Beyond all this talk of "business model" and sustaining strategies, lies a basic and ethical philosophy of what is it that the makers of such community-oriented platforms, are trying to give to the world? What is, that one thing, which you wish to provide to the end-users? Is your philosophy trying to "change the world"? Or is it trying to "take over the world"? The answer to either of these questions, are not going to be honest....because once again, things could change in the unforeseen future.

    Anyways, I don't like to write lengthy comments but writing short comments without a proper context, usually leads to misleading perceptions. Wondering if anyone here has read (particularly the owners of the platform) late Scott Peck's The Different Drum? Because I believe, this book (and his community-making ideas) provide a lot of parallel, and guidelines, on how people of resources, can attempt to use technology, to solve many of the communication problems of the present world.
