Default A "Moot" Point!

http://www.moot.no/

"Moot is a brand new way to share and communicate using your mobilephone or PC. Moot is 100% free and with no catches. Moot is a piece of social software that brings you together with other people who share the same location - a local service for local people. It works at home,at school or on the move. When Moot is on, new impulses and possibilities will come your way, for example when you're walking down the street or taking the bus home - new impulses will come your way through interaction with other Mooters.Share, chat and express yourself - locally - for free - with no catches"

There once was a service called Moot,
and it was another social sharing service to boot.

The software was limited to standard you see,
but it soon should support Pro, Oh Whoopee!

So for now grab your touchscreen-less WiFi phone,
if trying it out is something you feel that you are prone.

And for heaven's sake write back some thoughts here,
or bad limericks will be the norm - a big fear!

 

OK, so I know it's probably not poetically the correct form, but I figured why not, spice up the usual news item post. Moot looks like an interesting service, although since it seems limited to WiFi hotspots, I'm not sure how amazingly social it can be (Since at any given time I am near exactly 0% of my friends on the same hotspot), but who knows, perhaps a crowd is forming. Are you one of the crowd members mooting?

Ed, You just inspired me to write the next verse to appear on our homepage when it goes down:

"The server is lame
It has failed once again
the world cries in pain"

Not only does it fit 5-7-5, it rhymes. What do you say Jason?

Hopefully it won't see the light of day anytime soon though...

Sure...but I hope we won't have to use one again for a long while.
