Zaphod's new web project: devbump

I have always been interested in internet communities, and in particular - community generated content. Hence the reason I was a part of mapcore, and hence the reason for a new project of mine and my brother, http://www.devbump.com

devbump is a clone of the popular "digg" method of posting news, information, any any interesting things on the web in general. However, in contrast to digg, devbump is all about sharing articles of information that are of interest and use to us game developers.

Here is the way it works;

1. any tom dick or harry finds something neat and interesting on the web related to game development.

2. tom dick or harry submits the story to devbump, the story shows up in the "qeued stories" http://gravatar.com/ for avatars, so just use the same email address for both and your avatar should show up, though it can take awhile for the gravatar people to rate your icon and the have it start showing up.

sweet, our first front page story is "Tutorial: Hard Surface Texture Painting"

still haven't had our first non-me submitted story yet

*edit* scratch that, first submitted story by mr. skdr

I think it arranges it backwards to how we are used to the forums maybe? it might also take the comment rating into account

This is cool, registered!edit: make the links open in new window/tab please.

done

once we get a front page full of stories and we finalize the css and make sure everything is working in all browsers then I am going to go on a campaign to corral more users from other communities. Had to give mapcore the first shot at it though!

))))))~Make the big bumps number go to the comments page though. I'm used to doing that on digg.

did that.

can anyone check to see if the sneak / spy feature is working for them in IE? and what version IE you have.
