Gnip Gnop

I’m working on a new project called Gnip.  It’s appropriately inspired by the following game from my childhood.

I look forward to gnipping while my friends gnop.

    OMG, I always ask people if they know about Gnip Gnop and that look at me funny. I used to love this game.

    Ok, Mr. Newsgator (investor), why are your posts able to show youtube clips inline in the online newsgator reader but not most other blogs? Gnip.

      I'm not sure. I do know the following after checking with NewsGator:

      Currently the audio and video files embedded in the online reader are supported by the “EnclosureUrl”. Embedded elements in the description are likely to be scrubbed out, being identified as unsafe markup.

      I'd need to see the blogs that aren't working to understand the specific issue.

    Everyone on the planet knows that “Gnip Gnop” is “Ping Pong” backwards, right? I just realized that last year and was shocked and dismayed that it hadn't occurred to me 30 years ago. Oh what I could have done with that information in my youth.

    We continue to find out that you and I obviously were cut from the same cloth. I had one of these too!
