Working on MakeFive can be a little strange, as it’s something so different. We’re not really modeling it on anything that already exists, which means that we’re really trying a lot of different things to see what works. A few weeks ago we realized that although the community component is working well, we have to [...]

We’re big fans of Michael Arrington and Erick Schonfeld’s website TechCrunch. It’s a blog that showcases news on tech startups, and I start most days by reading it. They still haven’t talked about MakeFive, which we think is just plain crazy, but we figure that they’ll get on board one of these days. ;-)
Their new [...]
As many of you know, the contest at MakeFive has been a point of contention for some time around here. I’ll be honest with you; it gives me a complete and utter headache. Most of the time it works well; but, every once in a while we get one user who chases points, creating crap [...]
Doesn’t it suck to find out that someone’s been talking to you, and you didn’t even get the message? Well, that happens a lot on MakeFive, but I’m happy to say that a fix is on its way!
In the next couple of days, Topic Notification will come online. This means that when a topic you [...]
October was a solid month on MakeFive. Lots of interesting topics and a few new members have become really active on the site. I think we can safely say that the site is starting to “connect”, and a few of you seem outright addicted! (It’s okay though… we like to see you online for hours [...]
We get a little “evil” at MakeFive for this… an edition of MakeFive TV darker than Vincent Price’s skiffies. Sit back, relax, and pour yourself some fresh gruel. We’ll serve-up the top five costumes, pumpkin carvings, and horror films, all in the spirit of the season. And all of it comes with the cheese sandwich [...]
Just a general “FYI” to the MakeFive Community: we do know that points are problematic. To be frank with you, it’s just a harder thing to remedy than it may appear from the outside. Additionally, we’re really concentrating on notifications/video, and as such points won’t be addressed for a little while yet.
As noted in the [...]
One thing you learn very quickly about software development is that you add far more to lists than you tend to cross off, and generally at an ever increasing rate. Our list of fixes keeps growing, and as daunting as that can be at times, it’s also really exciting to see how we can continue [...]
Recently I posted about things that we’re working to improve on MakeFive. I’m not sure if you read it, but you certainly should have. It was riveting… Truly. I think that a lot of people called their friends and neighbors and told them all about it.
Okay, enough silliness… These are all really little odds and [...]
