- Facebook App – Game – ChopShop Racing
Last week I just released with a couple friends the v1.0 of ChopShop Racing on Facebook. It’s better than all the other racing apps.
Why?
Because it has a visual race viewer – you watch cars progress throughout the race (no coin flips).
Because it is based on Physics – heavier, faster cars aren’t always great around the turns.
Because it has technical tracks – we build track data based on the severity of the turn, lengths of the segments, etc.
Because you can race people who aren’t your friends.
Because you don’t have to invite people to play the game!I’ll let the rest of you fill in the blanks after you go play.

He called it The Mobile Secretary and it essentially allowed you to automagically send SMS messages to someone whose call you just missed.
