Welcome to day one of With Leather’s “Make People Say Stuff” Initiative, where we stop openly begging you to comment on posts throughout the day and try to lure you into an Inception’d sense of commenting urgency with a new social set-up, complete with incentives and, once we figure out what to give you, WONDERFUL PRIZES. Couple that with our free fantasy football game (click the busty cheerleaders above or below this post) and we’re basically the ATM of websites. Consider “being interested in things” as your $5 usage charge.
The current features of the new commenting system are:
– Signup using Facebook or Twitter
– Universal login on any Uproxx site
– User Profiles — comments made on any Uproxx site are
aggregated on your profile
– Profile Avatars — use your Facebook, Twitter or a custom avatar
– Clickable avatars — shows mini profile with recent comments
And, if that wasn’t enough, Coming Soon:
– Direct messaging
– Threaded replies to comments
– Commenting awards and badges
So it’s pretty cool. Hop down into the comments here and let us know what you think, because hey, the way we give out rewards is random at this point and I might decide to give you a gift. Just kidding, I’m giving it to Upstate Underdog.
