I built this thing that will annoy the crap out of you. TRY IT!
http://dont-talk-to-strangers.appjet.netSo I built a web-thing that lets you send a message to a randomly selected person's email address. The catch is that you have to sign up first and thereby open yourself up to the potentiality of random messages in your inbox. However, you should know that it's pretty much just me using it right now, and since I seem to have worn out all my guinea pig friends, I'm kinda having trouble getting people to sign up for it. I went on IRC but they called me a spammer. And then I remembered GoTeamInternet. Those guys are just the folks for something as pointless as this. So give it a shot for me, I won't do anything bad with your email address; pinky swear! I'll make it real easy to turn it off, I just want to see what happens!
try,
I like!
No thanks!

Oh c'mon tiff, you know you want to send random annonymous insults to strangers

Jesse, add a picture to your stupid profile thing so they know you're human.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
But I'm not a human, I'm an artificially intelligent construct built by Jesse in order to cultivate users for his many meaningless useless web-sites.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Did I mention that http://www.agglodex.com to you yet Tiff? You definitely gotta sign up for that one. It's like FriendFeed, cept... I built it...
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
Well, I'll put my name in anything with a sign up button, so there you go.
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
Dude, I never would have suggested San Francisco if I knew it would make you look like a homeless guy.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Don't worry the moustache and mullet only lasted a week or so. It was more of a "because I can" thing
Manuel said, (156 days ago)
But kinda funny with the transformation. Moving to SF made him look more redneck than his Arkansas companions back home.
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
Tumblr would totally be better than your feed site if they allowed more then 5 feeds to be added.
Manuel said, (156 days ago)
You probably don't recognize me, we talked a long time back, I'm Ozreiuosn.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Yeah, but Tumblr, and Soup.io, and Swurl and all those are really about something different than Agglodex. It's not a blog, it's a recommendation system. I'm working on calculating similarity scores based on the content of your feeds so that we can see how similar we are based on the keywords that show up in our streams. That's cooler than just another blog
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Ahh very well Ozreiuosn, you may talk all the smack about AR that you like.
And yeah, moving to the city really makes you start to identify with how you grew up. I proudly say y'all and howdy where I din't used to. I've always said "used to" though.
Manuel said, (156 days ago)
@jesse: Well yay thanks. Good to see the city's...uh.. treatin' you well? How long you been here now?
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
I wave to people at my complex all the time before remembering that being overly friendly weirds people out here.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
P.S. I'm not nearly as surly looking anymore. That was more of a winter coat.
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
This email thing, I'm wondering how I'm going to know to fish it out of my spam folder.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
hmm, getting spam flagged huh... perhaps I'll need your name so I can address it to you. That usually keeps it out of the spam folder
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
I don't even know if I got anything yet. Are the the Reverend trying to deposit some moneys in my bank account?
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
You can now reply to your stranger messages using the link in the email. Let me know if the emails are getting through.
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Yes! Someone used it to send random cuss words to strangers! Thats how you kknow it's working!
booknutdc said, (156 days ago)
some of the links I've been getting are not working :( but some are! :)
jessehattabaugh said, (156 days ago)
Okay the first link should work now. Meaning you can reply to your stranger if you should feel so inclined
Mrs. Cakes said, (156 days ago)
I sent a few out. We'll see how this goes, I guess. I think more people should join though. It's like a slower paced anon thread.
Maybe.
