@Peter - thanks for the link. I came across that in my reader but I didn’t actually read it until you brought it to my attention. That’s EntreList-powered filtering at it’s best. Facebook do have a mainstream-friendly version of all the WebTech flavours-of-the-month, but they need to focus more on Twitter-esque coversation.

@Wakoopa, @Peter - congratulations on the new round of funding. The upcoming recommendation project sounds like it will be in safe hands then.

@Plurk.com - Ryan and I had a simultaneous Skype-chat/Plurk-testing session last night. It may be the hot topic right now, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with some of the design decisions, particularly those moving comment.count links…Has anyone else had a chance to try it?

@IILWY (I’mInLikeWithYou) - The guys at our favourite Tetris-morphing startup have added ‘Draw’ to their arcade suite. Ryan and I had a go on this too, and it’s pretty special (unless you’re using a trackpad, please use a mouse).

@Blockles - Yes, we had some good matches Especially the one where I was in the process of obliterating Neil with the flurry of power-ups he mentioned, and then he switched screens, completely turning the tables! I think it would be awesome to do an all-out Entrelist match soon enough: let the best entrepreneur win! ;p

@Introductions - I’m Neil Patrick Cauldwell, I have a [slightly_neglected] stealth start-up blog over at http://WebAppropriate.com, and there’s a personal blog at http://DotNeil.com. I’m too busy working under the radar on the app to write many blog posts on either of those sites, but you’ll see them pick up in the next 2 to 3 months. EntreList is now my preferred place for blogging. This is probably due to the fact that the conversation afforded by the Prologue theme is so much more fun than the traditional blog format. EntreList just flows, normal blogs don’t.

@Blockles Session - the guys at I’mInLikeWithYou have done some great things with Tetris + Power-Ups. I love how Peter has now taken to saving ALL his power-ups for all-guns-blazing Neil bashing sessions, always timed when I’m hitting in the danger zone for maximum effect.

@Coen, Mark & Taede - PhD in AI, start-up ideas, startup experiences?!! Please go wild all over EntreList, it would be great to hear more.

Wakoopa is the perfect place for people to discover software online. When you sign up, you also install a small tracker that keeps tabs on what software you use. This creates an online profile for you to share with the world, and also gives you updates and recommendations on what your friends and others are using.

Being a mathematician, I’m going to help design the theoretical base on which the engine is built, and being a hacker, I will help implement it. And while I’m at it, I’ll write my thesis on the topic ;-p More in depth posts on this topic will be appear on my personal blog http://ptegelaar.nl/.

“OK,” I hear you think, “spare me your life’s story!”. You may be right…but you could also see this as an opportunity. Let me explain. The number one reason I hear why some people are reluctant to post on EntreList goes something like this: “Yeah I like to read the posts, but why would I wanna post something myself? I hardly know any of these people…” Therefore, let’s take this as a nice chance for everyone to get to know each other a little better: tell the rest of us what you’re working on. It doesn’t have to be as rediculously awesome as building a recommendation engine of course just share your thoughts! For instance: Coen, why don’t you tell us a bit about your PhD. in AI, Mark, why not share your startup idea, Taede, why not talk about your experience of being in a startup? I’m sure everybody is curious to hear it, guys
