    Live Wall? If so, what are your thoughts? The developer is considering adding the ability to add photos, etc to it just like FB. It isn't working in the mobile version right now, but hopefully I can get that fixed.

    Voted no because I'm being honest. I'll check it out now. Not sure if I will use it much because even on FB I'm not much of a wall-to-wall communicator. Personally, I think iMSN is great for more in depth discussions on specific threads of topics -- much more info is exchanged than you would in a "conversation" in a FB thread. I'm not sure why forums are trying to be like Facebook. It's a different animal. For me, it's kind of like a cocktail party (Facebook) vs. a smaller dinner party with good friends (iMSN). Adding the walls and FB like features seems like hiring a band and a bartender and rolling out a dance floor for a private dinner party.

    Then again, it could turn out to be the next big thing in forums. I'm OFTEN wrong on this tech stuff!!

      How ironic would it be to say I "Like" this comment. *snicker* I agree though, I like IMSN because it is different from FB, which I generally despise.

        I voted 'No' and I probably won't check them out. I agree completely with Angie. If I had to pick between FB like experience or a forum, I'd always pick the forums. Even when I pair FB down to just the people that I'd run into a burning building for, there is too much activity and it's all jumbled together.....it's too much for my old soul.
