Koinup, Zlango, and FeedHub

By Josh | September 27, 2007

New social website out there meant for gamers allows you to share machinimas, screen shots, and virtual stories. It seems like a good idea for the gaming community, but it still doesn’t seem like something that will interest me. I haven’t even gotten into Facebook, although I do have an account but only use it maybe once a month. Koinup might be a good idea, but I’m not sure how it will do with all of the other social websites out there. Maybe some of those shy gamers that don’t want to get on Facebook will get on Koinup.

Want to speak Zlango? If you said yes, then you are in luck. Zlango is a new “language” that is made out of icons. It really isn’t a full language, but it does have a lot of icons to replace English words. This might be fun for when you are speaking to somebody through IM, but other than that it won’t be useful. I fooled around with it for a little, and it is fun for the first few minutes. Then it just gets boring. (Via Download Squad)

As an update for my previous FeedHub post, I still really haven’t seen what it does. Evidently they have been flooded with new sign-ups and their servers are taking longer to make a personalized feed. I do see more Memes on my profile though, but they don’t seem to do anything yet. I’m still kinda confused on how it all works, but hopefully I’ll see soon.
