http://xoxo.gl (hugs and kisses, good luck) - a web app to play family-friendly, traditional board games. Still prototyping for now.

My goal is wide in scope: to build a site that allows you to take a few minutes to have a positive social interaction with friends and strangers. An anti-Zynga, if you like.

I still have a lot to do. With a goal of universal accessibility, I am working on progressive enhancement - making it work adequately for users with poor connections and noscript, and excellently for users with fancy AJAX.

It's cool and I think it fills a gap for people who want social games without spam viral marketing... as an anecdote: by playing Boggle online, I made friends and ended up visiting a couple on a different continent. I'd like to enable stories like that.



I like the sound of this, but there's nothing much on that site yet. Where can I subscribe for updates?


Thanks for the compliment :)

If you sign up at http://xoxo.gl/ with an e-mail address then I'll let you know when there's more to see.

Otherwise you can contact me for a chat [email protected]
