The Worst Website Ever – swapid.com

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

During my random searches on the Net (mostly looking for robots) I came across the most ridiculous website. Web page, I should say, as it is not a website (yet?), or maybe I should call it web document as it’s not really a page; or not even a document, it’s just a web text.

I wanted to print screen copy it and post it here but it’s not worth the hassle. Just go have a look at swapid.com – what an exaggerate load of crap!

Let’s swap our ID !!! Let’s have an ID-swapping party 🙂

Or maybe swapid is a verb, like: “I’ll swapid you tonight, baby!” or maybe  “Swapida la vista!” Sick stuff, really!

I asked our friends from Google to show me photos of ID swapping and this is what they came up with at  number 1 across the web:

A POKEMON!!!

This the Pokemon

There’s a better one later down the search results:

Pokemon_Types

This one bellow is a great picture, as it’s not even a picture but has a lot to do with the swaps.

id-swap-m

My favourite on this search is a more sophisticated one (I have enlarged it for a better view as it was just tiny like a miniature work of art on the Net):

wow speedy art

I don’t know what you make of this, but to me it is full of drama and it really tells a long story in one shaky frame. It says: “I’m the frustrated boy racer with a frustratingly slow car, that does ZERO miles per hour at ZERO rpm but some of my other systems work!”

However, nothing can beat the greatest idiotic web proposition ever: swapid.com – I reserve for you the pleasure to get it straight from the horse’s mouth. It only takes one minute if you have a slow connection and it requires about half a neuron to comprehend what’s there and how useless it is!

How You Have Become the Taylor-Made User

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

This is where we have come: instead of making the product according to your needs, now the robots are shaping you to suit their product.

U1

They gather your data and you become less personal, have less real choices, spend more time seeking a good product or service then enjoying it and your life is gone.

U2

From fast food to governments, from media networks to the medical system they force you to fit in the appropriate little box.

U3

You, the user, have become merchandise. I bet you love it! It makes you feel unique.

U4

The only catch is that you have to pay them to buy you!

Internet Fun – Joke of the Day

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I’ve just received an email according to which the UN conducted a world-wide survey over the phone. There was only one question: “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

The survey was a huge failure because of the following stereotypes:

In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” meant.

In Western Europe they didn’t know what “shortage” meant.

In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant.

In China they didn’t know what “opinion” meant.

Flat Earth
In the Middle East they didn’t know what “solution” meant.
In South America they didn’t know what “please” meant.

In the US they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant.

In Australia they simply hung up because they can’t understand an Indian accent.

Mockoblog Mockolog #7

I bet YOU (most of our readers) are new and in a hurry anyway.

YOU are not the type of reader that sets upon an archeologycal experience, you won’t dig for old mockoposts that may explain the new ones.

So be it!
