Via David Weinberger’s blog, came a reference to a time eating web site. Blufr (“bruising your ego one blff at a time”) is more or less a true or false game at various “facts” form Answers.com– the addictive hook is tat each “way” / “no way” right answer bumps you points, you can post links to the content to various bookmark services, and more in the bucket of Web X.0-is add-ons.
Of course, you can get a high score just by guessing (50% chance of being right in any standard-ized test), but still, with each answer, comes, “just one more…. just one more…”
And they even have this hook of offering a cut and paste snippet to embed a hook into any blog:

And speaking of this, I am wondering if anyone has done an ultimate list of all these cool X.0 sites that have riffed on flickr’s “drop the ‘e’ and be cool” spelling meme?
flickr
blufr
hitchikr
bickr
frappr
mappr
wickr
More?
Definitely addictive!
