Creates a social network based on World of Warcraft
Shaun Fanning (Shawn Fanning), the creator of the famous "Napster" , is now an avid player in World of Warcraft . At the same time, he is extremely dissatisfied with those poor means of communication that are in your favorite game.
As a true entrepreneur and programmer, Shaun did not want to put up with the status quo and decided to create a special Rupture program that could be a real MySpace analogue for multiplayer online games (MMOG), BusinessWeek writes .
The Rupture program is a tool for building social networks for residents of the virtual world. It is assumed that elves, orcs, gnomes and wizards will be able to publish their profiles online, blog and actively communicate with each other, as MySpace users in our world do. Such a thought came to Shaun Fanning after one and a half years of playing World of Warcraft.
Shaun Fanning says that his program will be able to integrate into the game and automatically “pull” user information from there, including names, resources and achievements in the game. All this information will be published on a personal page and updated as the game character develops. The site Rupture also plans to publish ratings of clans and create a convenient place for them to communicate (now each clan is forced to make its own website for these purposes).

As you know, WoW is the most popular game on the Internet. Hundreds of WoW servers around the world simultaneously serve millions of people (the total number of players is about 7.5 million). Many WoW fans develop their character over the years.
Millions of gamers are a great audience for new services, so the Rupture social network may well become a successful project. At the moment, the site is registering clans for participation in closed beta testing.
The Rupture social network is the third Internet startup Fanning after Napster and Snocap .
