I was carrying on a long-distance relationship from San Francisco with a woman in London, and we were both alpha testers for a social game called #GameNeverending.

One day over breakfast with GNE's founder #StewartButterfield, he asked me how things were going in my romantic life. I answered that things were great, but mentioned that my girlfriend and I were struggling to share the pictures we took in our daily lives with one another.

@mattedgar Anyone here recall #Flickr 's predecessor, #GNE or #GameNeverEnding ? Money (colored paper) literally grew on trees. It had the whimsy you speak of. Then they added the ability to attach photos to the in-game chat, and decided that was the product, not the game.
