Putting My Dodgeball Against the Wall

by Chris Abraham on 08/12/2006 · 0 comments

I am trying to get into Dodgeball because Google bought them. When I checked how many of my 4232 member address book on Google were already members of Dodgeball, only 12 people were already members of Dodgeball.


I freely admit that I am not 20. I am not even 30, but out of an address book of over 4,000, I was hoping for a better count. I also freely admit that I am not cool, either. And, I don’t go anywhere.

Here’s the fancy invitation letter!

Hi there,

Your friend Chris A. just invited you to join Dodgeball! They also have a special message for you:
