Bagunk is kind of like digg meets facebook. Basically they allow people to submit a link to any game on the web, but they go a lot farther than that by allowing people to add friends, compare scores, see how you rated against friends, and create tours across the site. They're also working on a high score API that will allow any developer to upload score data.

These folks(AeA and Tech CEOs) constantly bemoan the fact government won't do their research for free. These companies have hundreds of billions in the bank and can find nothing better to do with it than buy their own stock. How about putting a BIG R in R&D and fund some basic research that will in the end be very valuable. You could start by making the internet better and technology more user friendly and then maybe people would be on board with supply a little more government reseach money.
