Rooms ... to go or not to go
Back at the kitchen table.
It seems the thing to talk about this week is Rooms from Facebook. I gotta tell ya, I don't see much innovation here. It's pretty. A little complicated. A little gaming happening, You have to figure it out to get in the room, to get your prize, as it were.
I don't know, maybe I'm missing it here but finding another spot where you can post messages and pictures to people that have the same interests? I think we've already done that. Am I missing something? Is this the latest greatest and I missed it? I don't think so.
Wait a minute -- Rooms is Prodigy from 1996 ... it is anonymous - is that the point? To have a place to by anonymous and talk about the things that you like? Davey Alba of Wired writes about this.
Rooms isn't new - Page Six is reporting that there is a claim that it was created as Room and released in September! The intellectual property attorneys at Facebook are not having a good day.
