Congratulations to the Empire Avenue team

I’ve blogged occasionally about Empire Avenue and up until today it was an invite-only beta. Now it has opened its doors to everyone — yes, that means you, everyone.

Please encourage the hard working team to continue to, well, work hard, by signing up. Let me know you joined and I’ll buy a piece of you (non icky translation — I’ll buy some shares in you).

Why am I enjoying Empire Avenue so much? It is the ease of making connections with people I don’t know but with whom I am destined to get along with (or argue with, but respectfully). I love putting a score to people, in regards to their online influence. I love trying to improve my own score. Also the Empire Avenue guys don’t creep me out like Facebook does.

Don’t just take my word for it. Check out the CTV video about Empire Avenue or read an entry from the fabled Pooka’s blog.
