Google buys Dodgeball

Well, what started as a service for interactive mobile social networks grew up a lot today; that’s right, Dodgeball, the little project that could borne of NYU’s ITP program got bought by Google today for an undisclosed sum of money (we’ll just assume they’ll be able to pay off those student loans). For those of you who don’t remember Dodgeball, they were started as a service wherein a registered phone can “check-in”, and anyone in your registered circle of friends (or their friends as well) in the area will be notified of your proximity (and vice versa), so you can, you know, do lunch or whatever people do. It pretty much goes without saying that this is just begging for use with Google maps mobile and Google local (why do they keep building technology to make it easier to get out of the office and have a social life, anyway?), not to mention the obligatory Orkut integration we’re likely to see.

Now quick Dodgeball guys, cash out now and live like kings in the Balkans forever!

Premiu00e8rement Castlevania ne fu00e9du00e8re pas autant de fans qu’un Mario, qu’un Resident Evil, ou qu’une Lara Croft. Deuxiu00e8mement le scu00e9nario de Castlevania est lu00e9ger et tru00e8s classique. Bon c’est vrai, ils ont ru00e9ussi a faire un film de Super Mario mais ce n’est pas une ru00e9fu00e9rence. mcse exam questions On peut lire sur beaucoup de newsgroups amu00e9ricain que Castlevania au Cinu00e9ma serait la pire chose qui pourrait arriver (une grande saga tombu00e9 dans le systu00e8me commercial de base).

  2. nOne thing I recall w/ Black Widows is that they came w/ an X-member frame as well. This was to cut down on torsional twist in the frame. The shit from a convertible car. I have been fascinated w/ Black Widows since i was 8 yrs old, had a guy in our car club that was a wealth of info on ’em!nn
