Of course it would be you. Good work. Hehe, I’ve been keeping SOUNDEX in the back of my mind to use for a couple of decades now, glad to see someone else has heard of it too!

Great site by the way, hope its getting lots of business. Cheers, -Dan Hi Tao,

That is a great idea and something I'll have to bookmark and discuss with my developer. We're working around that in a slightly different way in using a 'filter' system for people. So instead of searching for a name, you'd search for e.g. 'development' and '$20-50' and '1990' (all listed in drop-down menus). Then it'd just pop the data up. It doesn't do names obviously, but this way you can narrow your search down pretty fast if you know the kind of games you like. Then again, our usability idea is for a store but the above sounds real good too. Sweet! That is a great idea and something I’ll have to bookmark and discuss with my developer.

My goal is to be a store that offers similar games to what you are dealing with. I am not sure what your development plans are, but I am starting to work the social marketing for my site www.bestdanggames.com. If there is a joint venture or way that we can assist each other, please contact me with any ideas you may have. Since I don't know what you are planning, I can not offer real ideas to you. Thanks and hope to speak with you soon. Barry Nadler www.bestdanggames.com Hey Dan,
