Harry Lime, you make me laugh all the time. Clearly the folks over at Ned are expecting lots of us trouble makers to discover the site sooner or later. I get the distinct impression that it's later than sooner they're hoping for. Ned could have come up in recent conversations with people there--lol and it seems that it wasn't mentioned to me wasn't an oversight.

I don't really see it as evidence that Omidyar is backing Razoo because Haney sent an email about Razoo. Haney has been consistent in encouraging others at some of the various sites.

Ned is a good fit for some here. I was particularly concerned about LiA and glad they'll have the Ned site.

On the other hand it seems to me that the user interface of this Omidyar.net tool set has a rather steep learning curve--the same problem with AboutUs. That limits the involvement of the community.

A few of the Ugandans from Gulu have ventured into Facebook and Razoo. I hope they find some value there. Omidyar.net and Ned starting out trends pretty old. Facebook is big universe with plenty of other young people there. So it just seems Razoo and Facebook offer something good for them.

I like Razoo. Who knows whether that site will really jell, but right now it seems fun to me.
