This is a screenshot of my profile for the website. Each user picks an avatar. The profile setup is a lot like a social networking profile where you can list your favorites, interests, etc.

This is a shot of how you are able to join different games. You can also see which users are online and what room they're in if you want to play with a certain person! This is a picture of the new website I tried playing on. You can sign on as a guest, unlike the other website. It looks a lot more simple and the chat box and game scoring are all in the same box. This person wasn't too talkative, but I figured I'd post a picture of the new site I'm trying out!

3/8/10: Today I played two games. I won one and lost one. I've been trying to chat with people lately and even with the more talkative people, our conversations are pretty vague. You don't usually talk to the same people so every time you're starting over with the conversations. I'm getting better at scrabble but some people are crazy good!

3/2/10: I played two scrabble games today. The first game, I actually had a conversation with the other player, who thought it was pretty cool that I was playing this for a class. Unfortunately I lost! The second game I joined in the middle to replace a computer player. This game I ended early because I think the other player left the computer. He or she didn't reply to my chat messages and didn't play a few turns in a row. So that game was pretty boring. It's interesting talking to people during the game because it isn't much of a conversation-starter! 

2/23/10: Today I actually won a game of Scrabble, which hasn't happened too often yet! It's actually interesting the way you communicate with people. If your two minutes runs out, your competitor can choose to extend your time. Even though I don't know those people, I would still extend their time because I felt bad! You can chat with people during the game but I haven't held a consistent conversation yet!

Every so many turns there is an "intermission" for 30 seconds and an advertisement pops up! Here is a screenshot of a game! You can also chat with the person on the right hand side and each player has their own avatar. **FEBRUARY 22nd: I started experimenting with online board/card games throughout February! So far "Scrabble" has been the favorite choice, even though I'm not too great at it. It's addicting! I've been playing against different people and sometimes the computer to get the hang of it! More to come soon! **
