Since i've started to use it and invited lots of friends, my email has gone back to being email. Met some cool cats on there as well, plus the community has a mutual love for bacon, so that's a bonus for me. Fyreball is great.

The only problem I've encountered in my time with Fyreball is the idea that I'm being sent too many different links, some of which aren't interesting to me. But the ease with which I can remove a friend who's "spamming" me, is a huge plus. Overall, it's a cool site and gives the user one place to view all those cool things we see on the internet.

Fyreball's main demographic, gamers, intuitively understand the nature of the site and what it is trying to do. By speaking the language of games with viral content and the content that is actually uploaded to the site, Fyreball is ahead of the curve. A great many ideas are gradually moving towards this notion of shared/gamed content, and by being one of the first to figure out a way to monetize this, Fyreball is moving far ahead of the Web 2.0 bubble.

I mean, before I started to use Fyreball I usually visited at least 10 different sites a day. Now I hardly use any other website. I don't need to when I have Fyreball. Personally I suggest building up a (big) list of friends with the same interests as you. That way the stuff you like will be sent to you as fast as possible.
