maybe its because I’m in an excitable sorta mood today… I burst out laughing when I read the E27 article on LinkedIn’s newest competitor - IconnectE…

“… an interactive portal that enables small businesses, entrepreneurs and independent professionals in Asia to generate more business opportunities by building meaningful professional relationships in a marketing-oriented community.”

As soon as I entered the site, I started giggling like a… I started giggling really hard

“Our system works best with Internet Explorer 6 and above”

hahahhahahhaahhaha. ok! cookie points for making me laugh so hard.

anyway, I’m on a Macbook running firefox and I could sign up with no major issues. so credit is due to IconE for making that happen despite the .NET frontend, backend and everything in between.

Once inside, everything looked like crap … just like I expected. I mean, it’s a site that runs on .NET, that is designed for IE. Some links don’t work; fair enough its beta.

You what’s crazy? They have fake ads in placeholders…. …. … wait for it…

“Sample Advertisement” hahahahahhahahahahhaha .
as those irritating smiley ads would put it “OH MY GOD! NO WAAAY!”

how about some Lorem Ipsum text while you are at it!

anyway, this is a first impression (who cares about those anyway?). Also, its 3.10 am and there were 2 “anyways” in my previous sentence. Therefore, I shall stop now and come back after I have used IconnectE for a while longer.

P.S: wasn’t it the trend to name stuff “i-SOMETHING”? maybe “IconnectE” (with the capital I) is a sign of the impending emergence of Web 3.0!

hahahahaha. should. stop. eating. sugar. late. at. night.
