Title: LEGO Octopus? What is this...?
Post by: Trijhak on May 28, 2011, 12:19:09 pm
Okay. So, does anyone here know what this even is:

Octopus? (http://octopus.lego.com)

Because I and many other people sure don't. It's a mystery...

Was a mystery a while back too... Haven't looked at it, but given that there was no new info, I'd say no-one knows still. =/

I posted this in the 'Ask the Mods' thread at the LMB's but they rejected my post :P. Also, why it's intended for users 13 and up is making me wonder how different the socialablity(sp?) level could differ from MLN (assuming Octopuss is MLN's sequel).

JGP: That has some interesting info, but the MLN related stuff is speculation until somehow from the actual LEGO staff comments either way. But it being 13 and up; if it's a MLN sequel; would indicate it'd have fewer restrictions as the Wiki speculates...

Wantija: Likely wouldn't differ much; but I bet they'll have 'lighter' restrictions if it's so. That mostly means the mods would look over everything before it goes live instead of pre-determined messages, however. =P

The link doesn't seem to work for me, it comes up with a runtime error... it may only be temporary though.

Hmm... I wonder when it'll be fully released, then...?

 I've heard that it'll be a Lego-ized version of Flickr combined with Facebook, but I doubt that.

Blade, MSRR, I've heard enough of these kind of speeches to be able to translate them.  I'm going to have to watch this several more times and look for other information as well to confirm my inpression, but...expect emails from LEGO VERY soon after this opens.

EDIT: Oh, and the video stuff that Sim found?  Somehow, this is gonna tie into YouTube, likely crawling it for anything Lego-related.  The videos are likely hosted in a similar way to YouTube, and they were writing software to crawl through, find it, and share it.  The photos were likely for the same purpose. ;)
