P2P Roaming Chat

fexter writes "A coder called Brendan Reville has released BrendanLand, which he claims is "the world's first peer2peer application where each participant serves their own piece of geography in the overall world." Basically, everyone walks around and chats. But each person gets to design their own piece of land, and everyone roams between these lands. It's all free, and the website has lots of technical notes and a developer diary." Oviously this is hugely basic stuff, but conceptually there is a lot of potential cool ideas. But for now it looks just silly ;)

I have a feeling this will be a new innovation of communication, but the only thing anyone will ever say is......

A/S/L????

I can easily see it...

...being quickly turned into PornLand. Or worse.

Lessee, we have Al Queada Land, HitlerLand, MooseALini (the San Francisco Treat) Land, Land of the Giants, LanLand (for Net Admins only), LameLand (actually, you end up hooking into a live feed to North Dakota, but who can tell?), DeathRowLand (guns, gas, or needle?), RuralLand (more fun than watching the grass grow)...

Mine will be ModemLand where nothing moves faster than 56K baud...

Stephenson built on the backs of giants himself!

Neverwinter Nights

So what we have here is Neverwinter Nights with no gameplay, is it? Woo woo!

Brendans of the world unite!

Oh, hell, I know this is offtopic, but how often do I get to see the launch of something called BrendanLand? I mean, guys named Bob or Tom or Glen get to see their name so much it becomes old hat, an annoyance, even. Brendans are few and far between (at least in the US).

BrendanLand... one of my oldest and most bizarre idle whims come to life....
