scrabulous' lesser known, less sexy cousin has arrived

this is why i get news feeds. this morning, my crusty little eyes spied "scrabulous" in the article titles in my igoogle news feed. the article is titled "Hasbro's Nightmare: Scrabulous Returns With New Name And (A Few) New Rules". it looks different, but is strangely familiar. in essence, "wordscraper" is a first cousin of scrabulous, with a slightly different look and slightly different rules, but you know they're family, whether hasbro would like to admit it or not. and, they're different enough now to not get all lawyery. that probably won't stop hasbro, who really should be trying to play nice with their less sexy cousin, but at least this means more game play for us and will bring facebooks daily unique audience back up again.
