Ack! GuildCafe!

July 25, 2007

Well, I joined up with yet another social networking service because I wanted to see what the fuss was about.  So far, the only thing that really separates GuildCafe is that it is more geared to gamers which allows for you to tag the games and guilds you participate in.  It could be pretty handy [...]
