  • Could not select friends or site was overloaded

    From 2 comments
    • This seems really cool, but it didn't quite work for me. I was able to create a deck, but unable to select which friends it would be based on. Awesome idea though!

    • Interesting, but it's looks like you're under too high of a load right now for me to select my friends.

    • I really like this -- I'd spend some time making it pretty when I post funny cards to FB [the thumbnail doesn't look great].
