Dodgeball

Are you on dodgeball?

If you are, please add me as a friend. Search for Jason Preston or jasonp107 at gmail dot com.

Dodgeball seems like a really cool service to me. Check in every now and then and it tells you if you’re near any of your friends, or near any of your friends’ friends (that’s the cool part).

I could be at QFC and meet someone new, just because dodgeball knows that we have a mutual friend.

I think it’s actually a bit of a dating service. The tagline is “get some” and they ask you whether you like to make out with men, women, or both.

The problem with dodgeball is that it doesn’t offer any value to a single user. Del.icio.us is the classic example of this - even if you’re not using any of the social tools, you still get the valuable service of being able to bookmark a site and come back to it later, without cluttering your browser favorites.

Dodgeball is useless if you have no connections. But I want to try it out. So friend me. Let’s see if we cross paths.
