		<description>Cool - thanks for being honest.

So, yeah, I can see all of the videos available - do you know if these are recommended or voted or how they make the front page?

Since you mentioned the community, I wanted to take a look, but I'm a little bit confused...probably because I've become accustomed to one approach, and now I have to reconfigure my brain...just give me a second here... :)  

So yes, I can click the animations, but how do I connect to the person responsible for that animation?  Do they have individual pages like mytoons or some other central location where I can "get to know them?"

Does the featured animation play automatically when you go to MyToons?  For me, it is featured, but I choose to click play or move on.  I wonder what would be causing that...I've tried all browsers except for Opera...do you use that by any chance?  I know sometimes pages will act differently on certain browsers...

And, on second look, I can see that it's not really a table format - i think i just got that impression because of the smaller fonts and images...I must associate the two, pardon my mistake :)

Anyhow - thanks for keeping us all up to date on the latest &#38; greatest on the web!</description>

		<description>No - I'm not affiliated with ToonGum, if I was I would have disclosed that.

I like ToonGum's interface for a number of reasons:

1) It doesn't force you to load a video on the homepage, the homepage is more focused on introducing you to the community and getting you to the videos. MyToons does this - but only after you realize 80% of the on-screen real estate is claimed by a video you didn't choose to watch.

2) I do like MyToons player better - with it's fast forward pause/play features. This is definitely something ToonGum should work on.

I didn't see the table-based you mentioned; looks like both sites are well designed when it comes to semantics XHTML/CSS.</description>

		<description>Really?  Are you affiliated with toongum?  Because I would beg to differ on the user interface.  It could very well be a difference in aesthetic tastes, but I find the big, colorful images and icons on mytoons far more friendly and accessible than the table format of toongum.  No offense or anything, just surprised to hear it is all!</description>
