Kongregate is another great site with many original games and a community.

Interesting.

In unrelated news, anyone notice that google has slowed to a crawl today? Anyone know what's up with that?

ironically, Bing works fine... *smells a Microsoft-led DDoS on Google to in wake of the Bing press announcements to get people to try it...*

You know, it's funny you say that -- I've noticed the same thing. Not sure what's going on there, but I've looked for a few pages that Google had yet to index. I haven't heard any news about it, though.

Bing: Here I come. OK, maybe not.

Quickly growing? Don the more you post, the more I laugh. Social gaming websites have been alive and growing before the term social networking was even coined. Don you are like one of those 17 year old high school kids that asks questions just so the high school teacher with sub-par education thinks you are smart and gives you that A+. Cnet has some of the worst journalism sometimes...

DatingGamers.com is a new one that looks like it could have potential.

Funny that you don't even mention Xfire. But I assume you did not want to mention services that are already "well-known" within the audience you aimed at weith this article.

What about Vigster www.vigster.com ? I think your list is missing some of the big players.

I am actually really enjoying GameFriends and I find it quite user friendly as compared to some of the other sites on the list.
