12:26 PM Andrew: yo yo
12:27 PM me: yo's
Andrew: hey, tell me what oyu think of this
what if I take the social network web applicaiton I wrote
12:28 PM and I polish it so it's super easy for any jackass to download and install and modify
and build in an xmpp server, so every time someone downloads and isntalls it, it automagically is connected to the entire social network ad-hoc
its like wordpress for social networks
12:29 PM me: okay
you should also register "automagically" as a trademark
12:30 PM Andrew: I would, but its a common programmer term for "idiot proof"
me: ah
12:31 PM Andrew: I figure, if anyone can download it and install it
lots of ridiculous entrepreneurs will
and then we have penetration into a huge social network that we essentially own, or own a significant portion of
12:33 PM we can host it and make money
the same way blogspot works
me: very well
Andrew: blogspot is the canonical repo for wordpress, we can be the canonical repo for this
a cms for social networking
12:34 PM we'll be rich as nazis!
12:35 PM me: oh, rabble rabble nazis rabble pretty rich
