Breedster is going through a shift. The Messiah, if he really is the Messiah, is unreachable (and thus, untouchable). I'll bet everyone has a pathogen in their food, and probably almost everyone has an STD. Now that there is almost no real chance of breeding without getting the AIDS, and no poop is safe, how fun is the game? Take one look at the grid, and you'll see just how fun it is. It is so boring for most folk, that they almost never log in anymore. This means that there are alot of bugs "In a coma", that is, just sitting there, not eating, not pooping. Thus, the grid is becoming a canvas, because you can poop, and chances are no-one will eat what you have pooped.

I am going to paint a bunny. Help me make my mark. (Search for Seeker Fredrick)

Here is a picture. I don't know if he is the messiah yet.. I haven't seen him yet. He is surrounded, and I cannot reach him.

Update: Sorry about the shitty html+css this morning. Its better now.

Riri's Brain Dump has an entry about breedster and what he calls the conspiracy. He too found the insane bug factions out there, but he also went further then I did, and found all 16 of the Starter Bugs. (and linked em, check it out).

I don't think it is a conspiracy, I think that Frances is an infedel!

All the bugs out there must join me in a pilgrimage to the giant OTI on the grid, and we must seek the messiah! Thoes who are with us will be taken to the land of milk and honey! Those who are against us will pay!

I have been to the Heart, and I have seen the dark armies of the red.

Ok, Wow. Breedster just got about 6 times cooler. There are bug factions. There is the Blue-Green Faction, and the Red Blue faction. Amazing. There are more. Another Green Blue Faction Here.

As if that wasn't cool enough, I made my way to the heart, and ran into one of the many Purple Bugs. A mythology is springing up, that they are able to cure disease. But wiat, there is more. The purple bug was named Artemis de Hommel. Tagline? "MuurLarfje". Muur means wall in Dutch. Under her profile, is the text "Het is nog even wachten op de ware, maar hij komt zeker", which translates to: "It is still just as guards on truth, but he comes certainly". And wait, there is more... Her brother says "my father is not the Messiah..." in his/her profile...

I've also seen an army of red bugs, protecting a queen called "Red Breedster 010", sourrounded by red guards. Why do you need guards, unless you are making war?

Less social software then Breester, Kingdom of Loathing looks like an funny, and interesting RPG.

Too bad I do not have the time to think about it, let alone play.

Breedster is a funky ass social network. Now that I have the mad skr3xXx0rzZz hookup, I can eat poo and fuck like the rest of them.

The idea behind breedster is that you are a bug, wandering around, pooping, fucking and eating. What you eat however are other (different sub-species) bugs poo. Each bug can eat one color, and poop another.
Some emergent behavior seems to show up in the poo/food scattered all over the ginonormous donut (or torus if you are snooty) your bug calls home. Here are some interesting poop patterns that I have found. I think that OTI might be the main developers initials. I am not sure. (It was like that when I got here.) The Heart appeared overnight. I have 2 eggs if anyone wants a breedster account, just fire me an Email/ICQ/Query.






Edit: It appears that some of my html/css hosed IE viewers. Hopefully this is fixed now.

I don't know what to think of the social network explosion. I mean, it is not as if social networks are especially new... I remember when I was getting and ignoring Six Degrees invitations all the time. The thing is, now they are totally exploding. Sure, there is the usual rogues gallery of Friendster, Tribe and everyones favorite Orkut. But other Social networks are coming out that are MUCH MUCH cooler. Soon the idea of logging into a social network with a browser will seem as pasee as gopher. (and probably will then develop a cult following.)

FOAF is the first stop on the social network tour. "The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is about creating a Web of machine-readable homepages describing people, the links between them and the things they create and do." Pretty cut and dried. It is also very cool, because it is open, and available to everyone.

"Breedster if you don't know, is like a genetics experiment in high school gone horribly wrong and Friendster put together. All with a crude graphical interface reminiscient of QBert. " I know nothing, because I haven't been invited yet, but it shows promise, check out their about page.

Of course, there is Flickr. Social networking with Image sharing. This will be hella cool for artists and photographers. I am waiting for the porno Fluckr, and the Burgerking chicken version, Pluckr. (thanks to Boing Boing for the linkz0rz.

Of course, I mentioned Dodgeball, a very mobile social network.

I am sure there are other social networks out there that are even more interesting, but either way, it is all very cool.
