Holy fluck.

I have to guess who's money is being flushed down the loo. I'm amazed the way people just don't get the social stuff.

I mean check out some of the new sites.

At the very least they could have faked some activity.

No about us. No privacy statement. No contact details.

Worst of all no search.

I'd be tempted to put something up just to see what I can get away with. Good case study though on how not to build a viral social network.

Oh, and check out the homepage video frame. They spelt it 'meinthewed'.

How big is the ad Alan? What's the bets they spent more on the ad than on the site?

Ad is big enough, i didn't keep the paper so i cant take a pic but it stood out in the classified section at the back of the paper. About the size of the usual business shop ads that run there.

Maybe they are taking the agile development iterative approach

They might want to tell the marketing dept to hold off for a while...

You always know that a website claiming to be 'Ireland's answer to xxxxxx' is going to be laughable... No exception here.

Found this in my wonderings around the net. Flynns Products & Services catalogue I think it might have been done in Paint.

It was done in CorelDRAW 12, I think that's close enough to your guess.

I know someday soon one of my sites is going to pop up in this thread.

For the moment I am pretty disgusted with the Official Garda Website. Needs a serious face lift and at least an update on their missing persons section.
