Who likes Dinglepop? I do, I do. What is Dinglepop you ask? The latest and greatest game from our pals, the makers of iminlikewithyou, who are the makers of Blockles, the most addicting game ever (which has been played 763,326 times to date). Basically, on Dinglepop, you use your keyboard or mouse to aim and shoot down little colored dingles, and reap the benefits (yes, it’s a familiar game done right). Go host a game and challenge 6 of your closest pals (or random cute boys or girls floating around the site) to a game. Dinglepop only has 17,827 games played and 943 hours wasted in the first week of launch– seems bound to become a huge success. The site states that playing dinglepop will make you smarter, better looking, and famous– or your money back. (Don’t worry it’s free, fun, and addictive.)

I’m a little nervous about bringing iminlikewithyou up again — mainly because you crazies have gone completely batshit every single time we’ve mentioned the networking/gaming/dating site — but hey, I love you, want the best for you, etc., so here goes.
IILWY, if you aren’t already familiar, takes a comfortingly raucous approach to internet networking by enticing users to participate in games created by other users. Players bid points (that they rack up by winning other games, logging in, and getting involved in a few other ways) on games to get them in the running for a top five spot, which in turn lands them (if chosen as winner by the game’s creator) with a little chat sesh. Why we’re reviewing all of this basically amounts to the fact that after a ton of hard work (involving the sweat and tears of our own Editorial Director, Heather, who is now double-troubling in the same capacity over there), a freshly perkinated iminlikewithyou has been revealed. Aside from being even prettier than the original IILWY, the new site features a snarky news section, an easier way to chat among users, and what some have been referring to an “overall aesthetic fiesta.” We’re so dang happy with the new site that we have once again (oh dear, here’s where the madmen come out…) decided to throw our readers an open invite. Just click here to get to our JS reader-friendly sign-up spot, then get crack-a-lackin’ on setting up your profile/first game. Maybe Heather and I will find you…

I immediately realized my mistake yesterday as I settled in a cab heading downtown after leaving the IILWY office to meet Josh for dinner. I’d left behind both my iPod and brand new (and rather pricey) headphones behind, which generally means I will not, under any circumstances, get on the subway to come back to Brooklyn. After confirming that I had, in fact, left them there (also reconfirming that sometimes, I’m a total idiot) and deciding turning around was not an option, I mentally budgeted out cab fare back to Park Slope because in that sense, I am a total snob.
My self-annoyance was briefly replaced with amusement this morning when I saw Anna Tascha Larrson’s earphone lariats. Available in both gold and silver, they reminded me of the old adage, “you’d forget your head if it wasn’t screwed on.” Because that, I would. The best part is they’re androgynous enough — in a totally awesome way — to be worn by both guys and girls. (I’m totally digging her “I’m With Stupid —>” necklace as well. So hot.)

So my buddy Charles over at i’m in like with you decided to give us an exclusive public invite code after hearing about the response we’d had to the past two giveaways. So, for the next twenty four hours, you can join one of two ways:
- go to the site and enter the invite code “JOSH”
- click on this here link
It’s that simple. But you literally have 24 hours from this moment to do it: the code expires tomorrow at noon. And by tomorrow at noon, I mean Friday, May 11 at 12 noon EST.

My friend Angela put it best last week when she said, “I’ve reached maximum social networking saturation.” As a one-time rabid Dodgeball member (whose future seems uncertain now, having been abandoned by Dens & Alex under unfortunate circumstances), as well as a light-to-moderate Facebook/IILWY/Twitter user, dispassionate Myspace-er and obsessed Blackberry owner, I think she’s right. I’m connected 101% of the time, and although this isn’t exactly news to me, I still have those moments where I realize that disengaging myself every now and then may be beneficial to not only me, but the people around me.
But then, I find new things like B-List, and I convince myself that because it’s technically “research”, signing up is okay. B-List allows Blackberry Pearl, 7130 and 8700 owners to create lists of their favorite venues to share with other B-List users, with the database having already been populated by over 100 “celebrities” lists from all over the world. I’m really digging the community feel of it (as opposed to a friends-only invite system), and because it’s not primarily city-centric, it could prove an invaluable resource when traveling and looking for the newest, hottest venues.

It got kinda crazy here the last time we gave away invitations for i’m in like with you, so much so that we’re still being begged for golden keys into the promised land. Being in the great mood I am right now, I have ten invites to give away. All you need to do is the following:
- leave your email address in the comments here
- tell me what your first game will be called
if you’re not familiar with how the site works, go back and read Josh’s original post. I’ll send out invites on Sunday night, so get to it.
