i dont see either of those as any kind of competition. if you look at the forum for the first one, people are asking if anyone plays it b/c there are only 400 people in it and most of the time around 200 lol

i also dont think their target customer base is people who log in to feed virtual pets or whatever.. i think they will market it as being something that people can earn an actual income from, in addition to the social aspect of it
