SocialSpark Disaster
So this is the brave new world… Let’s be totally honest (for once) - I’ve never seen a bigger pile of dren.
u add my blog as one of your links, and i add your blog as one of my links i got pr2 blog
Now you will get a free ebook every day
(2nd prize, 2 ebooks)
What would you do with an Unlimited Supply of FREE Business Cards? Can you imagine the possibilities?
You are qualified for 0 opportunities
What? 0? surely not 0… What did I do that was so so wrong? - I signed up, like asked/told me to - you even even said you wanted tech bloggers to spread the word, build the buzz, or whatever the bollocks it is nowadays…
It is some strange nightmare - from the coding error-ridden GUI to the impenetrable system itself. It’s the worst of Sitepoint’s “services offered” marketplace - “I’ll make 5 fake posts on your forum in return for a pr4 link…”
If this takes off, I’ll resign as prophet forthwith… quite simply, I do slightly resent the time it took to register and read a little, yes it is voluntary, no you don’t have to join, but what does this say of the future of the (lower-end-of-the-monetized) web?
And they don’t realise there’s a sport called cricket, played by more people than play (american) football, hockey, baseball, basketball all put together. Huh!

I couldn’t agree with you more. Socialspark is the biggest waste of time and investor money that i’ve ever seen. I guess with a million dollars you can make a pile of shit look like the best pile of shit you’ve ever seen, but in the end, it’s still a big pile of shit!

I don’t know, I don’t get out as much as I used to, so maybe I’m not used to these social networks and their (slightly tacky) ways. Never bothered with FaceBook and all that stuff.
It still looks exactly as if they’ve said - we’ve got this service that works fairly well, social networking is the big thing, so how do we FaceBookify it all - artificially bolting on stuff that doesn’t really have a chance of working…
