“How ‘LEGO Universe’ Avoids The User-Generated Genitals Problem”

The friends list in “LEGO Universe” acts similarly to Wii Friend Codes. In order for players to become friends, they have to communicate outside of the game world, share eachother’s “LEGO Universe” IDs and then send invites to one another. You’re not even notified if you receive an invite, which means the only way you’d be able to accept it is if you communicated with your real-life friend outside of the game and worked everything out.

Emphasis mine. That’s clever. (For the audience they’re targeting.)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
