Next, Empire Ave, more important than the wheel. 

The Rundown

I heard about Empire Avenue from:
Dups – I was reading his blog and found out about the Avenue

I have been using Empire Ave for:
Since the beginning. The very beginning…

My hopes for Empire Avenue are:
I love devouring new content and Empire Avenue has exposed me to stuff I hadn’t really seen before, primarily Gov 2.0 but also loads of other topics. I haven’t been on another social network that really mixes people of different backgrounds together so thoroughly.

I knew I was hooked on Empire Ave when:
I saw it had achievements. I’m a gamer geek and a game designer and achievements have an almost mystical hold over me.

Empire Ave is more important than: The Wheel
But less important than: Fire

The things I look for when buying a stock are:
Needs to be active online. Bonus points for a topic I’m interested in (or for making me interested in a new topic

One thing I want other EAers to know about me is:
I buy back when purchased and will hold stock except for the occasional purge to buy a new achievement or if someone becomes inactive for a few days.

I think communities are:
Full of potential and are a great way to make connections (join the Mad Social Ecosystem!)
