		<description>[...] That said, RollAName has sure some value with it, if you have a list of friends, and want to play with the “who is the most popular” game. The concept seems fun, for a moment, and would get my attention if I could just go into it right away. RollAName would then be perfect as a facebook application. Users would have already their data and list of friends, and RollAName would display some sort of tag cloud or another visualization tool to show how popular you are and what are the most popular stuff among your friends. If done right, they could also get at the same time traffic for their main website and build the service from there.

		<description>Hi Annick,

I didn&#039;t say they should be like facebook, I thought that by building upon facebook, RollAName would make more sense. 

Also, there is one thing that RollAName should make it clear: either they present themselves as a social network, i.e. a place where you have friends, or a website where the goal is to promote your company/products/whatever. In the latter case, RollAName is then more like a directory, and should not use the word &quot;friends&quot; in their website. maybe use something like &quot;connections&quot; instead.</description>

		<description>I think this review misses the point, for the moment, www.rollaname.com isn&#039;t trying to be (I don&#039;t think) another facebook - its about making connections that promote your content, and get you noticed...not by your short list of rollaname friends (frankly thats cute and adds an element of amusement, but who cares?), the important piece is it gets you noticed by the search engines. 

Since putting up my profile on rollaname, my website now hits the top of every search engine list. 

I&#039;m not a programmer, not even close, but whatever these guys are doing behind the scenes delivers exactly what they promise - my website is getting noticed, in a way that is making sense. Dollars and cents. My time spent on rollaname is worth a thousand fold the exposure I get on facebook. 

Check it out, put up your profile, make connections. Test your ranking before and after...see?</description>
