[edit] Jointware IRL

Google seems to confirm that there is no such thing as "jointware". Not that it's necessarily a bad idea, but unless someone can reference an implementation, this term ought to be deleted.Userbeliever 02:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prayerware

What about software saying you should pray more. I saw this once, wrritten by some British church.

Yes, actually there are several other terms, such as prayerware, that exist; some of them have been in the list before. I think the point is, how important the term is, and how much it's used or known. I guess the idea is not to fill the page with little-known Otherware; it's not a exhaustive list of all otherware ever used, but a list of the most common ones.Sega381 12:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Hugware" citation

Based on a Google search for "hugware" (as a general term, not a brand name)...it seems that at least one real company (SofTouch) [1] advertises its novelty programs that way. Is that enough evidence to include hugware as a type of otherware in the article? --Ingeborg S. Nordén 05:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
