Every time I accidentally end up on my "spacebook" page it reminds me of those online postings:

Help Wanted (Programming Gig)

I have a great idea for the next great version of Facebook. It will revolutionize the way EVERYONE interacts with the internet (and EvE Online.) But I'm just a marketing and idea-guy. I need someone with programming skills in social media and web applications and programming languages and knowledge of how to program a social media site. You need to be able to program the site to post pictures and statuses and chat and connect people with like-minded interests. You will do the programming and get the site up and running and once it's going, I will do the marketing. You will have to find a way monetize and drive traffic to the site. I can't pay you, but you wll get a 20% share of the billions of $$$ that are sure to flow. Please send portfolio of similar Facebook-breaking sites you have created in the past.

There's a new one of these posted about every 15 minutes. Sounds like the path CCP took.

I think you got lost on the way to the thread posting stage.

When I log into EvE Gate I have it set to go straight to my main character. This is the same EvE Gate that everybody steadfastly asserted would never be used by anyone right?

seriously.

It would be fantastic if it offered skill queue access and the other above mentioned things as were originally promised.

edit: When EVE Gate was obviously borked upon release, with hindsight it was a definite harbinger of what was coming down the road soon with "Incarna". Half-baked and Not Ready for PrimeTime.

I'll agree with that, it was pretty buggy at first.

Now however it is stable and useful, with the potential to become much more so.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check if we just want to disable this news channel or have it auto update from somewhere else or something. It's pretty obvious that we haven't been using it for a while and even though I doubt many get their news fix from there, it doesn't look good like this :)

Nowadays we put all Community directed news on the Community page , some news goes in the launcher and then we use social media to spread it as needed.

No news is good news?

Oh, and just how out of touch is CCP with the game, when they don't know they have a dead news feed? Oops

Obviously it needs to be adjusted, but I personally don't know too many people that go to that page by default. Usually they have it set to go to their main chacters page because it has information relevant to them. So yes, they missed a rarely used web page... not good but it happens.

I wouldn't mind it if they put an (up to date) news feed on our personal pages as well though.

What else do/can you use EVE Gate for?

You can queue skills, arrange ISK transfers and do basic corp management.

Ahahaha not really all you can do is move personal contacts around and send evemails

I was about to say.... If only you do queue skills in EvE gate, it would be worth the entire code base weight in gold.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

YW ;)

I was only thinking of EVE's impression here ... I was not trying to nit pick ...

me

P.S.

Well ... for me it is all about the fact that I access the EVEGate page most times by hitting the global looking icon for getting to the in game browser to then go to the forums here ... two clicks ...

I don't go there for the news but it still looks lame calling news from just under a year ago HEADLINE NEWS

I wouldn't think that I was the ONLY one that might take a shortcut to the forums through browser /forums from the game Neocom when signed in and playing ... is there a faster way ?

Regarding the outoftouchwiththegame-comment ... ... well, looks a bit that way. Just think of the outdated tipsoftheday. Otoh, some things are so obvious, they arent seen anymore.
