How many Facebook friends do you have? Pretty easy test bed. Build a chess board with free move pieces and send it to all your friends. Send out a notice for a white move. Collect white moves. Post the updated board with the voted on move(maybe some of the the popular votes) and the notice for a black move. Take a re-vote on ties. You might have to do a lot of the initial work by msging or posting unless you know how to dig into facebook. But either way you'll get some feedback. The unique idea behind this experiment is allowing everyone to vote black and white. Letting the socialization between moves dictate the "side" the players end up favoring. By making it a free move chess board players can show off their knowledge of the game and their willingness to "play along". It would be interesting if you made it through a game.

Sounds exciting, but I would need to learn from the beginning, I have no clue how multiplayer and databases work. It stays a cool idea, I maybe realize in the future ;-)
