almost 10 years ago, i co-founded e-mint. we’ve been discussing what we should do for our big birthday so i’ve been thinking about what sort of event to host & how to make it enjoyable, great, inclusive, memorable.

so i’m intrigued by smoozl. launched last month at the Game Developers Conference in SF, it combines elements of foursquare (awarding badges) & LinkedIn (recommendations). they call it a ‘real-time, organic, visual recommendation system to better identify potentially meaningful connections within a daunting crowd of 20,000+ game hounds.‘.

we won’t be anywhere near that big & won’t all be in the same location but it’s still an interesting idea. definitely a great ice breaker! anyone have first hand experience with shmoozl?
