This site seems to be sort of like the Sims of the online world. You create a mini-city and then whenever someone visits the mini-city page your population goes up. Once you get to a critical mass in population you can then start building industries and such. Looks interesting so I created my mini-city and started playing around with it.
You're welcome to visit my mini-city. :)

Silverlight vs Flash
I was checking out Microsoft's Silverlight technology recently (especially the version 2.0 that is out now in beta). It looks pretty cool and Microsoft has probably taken it further ahead of Flash by giving it the capability to run .NET code.
But I think its unfair on the part of Microsoft to put those boxes around Flash objects and make you click on them before it activates the Flash controls in Internet Explorer. I see no such restriction for Silverlight objects. Is this giving Silverlight an unfair advantage at least in terms of ease of use (I've seen many users complain that Flash controls don't work on a website - since they didn't realize that they need to click on them once activate the control).
