Hi Allison, Kerry - thanks for checking out RocketOn. It was nice meeting you online. We designed RocketOn to be an enhanced, social browsing experience. Many great ideas and uses have come about as a result of users like yourselves, including the idea of web tours. The system can also be a vehicle for real-time events, which can take place right on any website. Thanks again! - Eric

Thanks for coming and helping us test it out. A group of colleagues came online and had a play, we saw benefit in it and want to play with it further for web tours. I wouldn’t necessarily hang out in it like I do Twitter, but am not sure that’s the purpose for it.

Cheers and thanks!

Almost but not quite….Maybe it is the lack of real ability to customise your avatar, or that there are not many people that have taken this up, but it just doesn’t “grab” me like Twitter or Friendfeed does. Maybe it is too social, with not enough input of where people are hanging out.

I’ll wait and see on this one
