History

File:Iminlikewithyou classic.jpg

i'minlikewithyou's non-Flash Classic version.

i'minlikewithyou emerged from the YCombinator program, and was in stealth mode for the first six months. Charles and Dan used Amazon EC2 and S3 services as part of their infrastructure. The website was launched late in 2006 as a private beta version. After testing, the founders sent invites to friends so that they too could test and send feedback. On May 2007, entrepreneur and co-founder of Digg, Kevin Rose made an investment to the site. PC Magazine classified i'minlikewithyou as one of the Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites on August 27, 2007. On September 2007, the website launched its Flash version, which not only was entirely built in Flash, but included many new features such as the game Blockles. Even though the Flash version of the site is the most used, the Classic version, which does not support Videos or Games, is still active, just in case a user lacks of Flash. Early in 2008, the website launched the games Dinglepop and Draw my thing. In late May 2008, i'minlikewithyou launched their fourth game, Gemmers.

Arcade

i'minlikewithyou currently has four games; Blockles, Dinglepop, Draw my thing, and still in beta testing Gemmers.

Blockles

Blockles is the oldest and most popular game in i'minlikewithyou. It is based on the classic game Tetris, but in Blockles, players have the option to play with items. Players also have the option to play without them, making it more similar to the classic game. To play, use the arrow keys to rotate blocks and hit the spacebar to drop them quickly to the bottom of the screen. Players can either join a game hosted by another user or create your own if you're a registered user. Matches can have just a few players, or as many as 8. If you break two or more lines apart at the same time, each of your competitors will get a new line of blocks.

Dinglepop

Dinglepop was launched early in 2008. It was the second game launched by i'minlikewithyou. It's very similar to the classic game Snood. To play, you have to match at least 3 like colored dinglepops and free them before they are pushed past the dotted line. Much like Blockles, there are items that you are able to use against your opponents to further your chances of winning.

Draw my thing

Draw my thing was launched early in 2008. It was the third game launched by i'minlikewithyou and is the second most popular game of the website. This is the only game in which items are not used.

Gemmers

Gemmers was launched late in May 2008. It is still in beta testing .

Balloono

On June 13, 2008, i'minlikewithyou announced plans for their fifth game, Balloono.

Items

Items are bonuses that the players get when they clear lines, dingles or gems. Players use these bonuses on themselves or on other players. They are divided in two categories; blue (generally good items) and orange (generally bad items). In three out of all four games, players have the option to play with items.

Videos

Videos were added to i'minlikewithyou after the release of their Flash version. While watching a video, users are able to comment and draw inside of it. These comments will appear while other users watch the video. Users have the option to turn off the comments in case it gets too messy. Very similar to YouTube's new feature, Video Annotations.
