HelloWorld -- "HelloWorld provides a fresh, visual approach to connecting people, online messaging, search and transfer operations, and personal publishing, in a decentralized network environment that is owned and operated by the network community." (Comments: Thanks Yarone Goren.)

BTW, HelloWorld is VERY SIMILAR, on paper, to Microsoft's ThreeDegrees.

I'd be interested to hear how you people feel about these "social computing" initiatives, and, in particular, HelloWorld's NON-TRADITIONAL interface (which typically = "bad").

But, how do we innovate when it is a no-no to use non-standard controls? What have you guys learned from similar projects, such as Kai's Power Tools, Kai's Photo Soap, and Bryce (which, similarly, had a very nonstandard GUI, and, interestingly enough, were created by much of the same team as HelloWorld)?
