Few months ago I have been invited to partecipate to the beta testing for Wallop and, since it has been launched, now I can communicate it. Wallop is “another” social network website. Personally I’m not keen to this kind of applications, especially because at the end if you want to have interesting connections you end up using 10 of them, and since they are accurately not connected it becomes a too big commitment.

The particularity of Wallop, and the reason why I accepted, is that the front-end is entirely in Flash and the users can also design and develop Mod’s. These are Flash applets that can be even sold through a Marketplace between users. Personally, since I was busy on other sides, I only developed a fancy slideshow that I reckon easily fits with the free grid interface - it seems I did already $10 from it! .
Not sure about the future of this website but I’m definitely curious to see how it goes on, since the passion the creators are putting on it is definitely remarkable. I wish I will have time to develop more interesting Mod’s though.

Funny news, after having express my opinion in a forum to one of the moderators (Miko) about the criteria of assignement of the BombShock Award I’ve been banned

I think I haven’t offended anyone saying that judging a website because the effort the creator put in his career is a bullshit, asking, of course, how do they get that information to all the sites that don’t win the award.

In anycase I don’t have any need to be part of a community where the moderators are not able to mantain a discussion and where you can’t express freely your opinion.
