Interesting. But I disagree with a number of them. > I love the copy, but it feels off brand ... I remember the first time I saw a McPizza ad. It talked about how if you didn't like one kind, then you could get a different one. And it felt really strange. Later I figured it out. Until then, McDonald's ads had always maintained the premise that everyone likes everything they sell. > If only this solution was more scalable... I am constantly annoyed at the idea that "scalable" is a meaningless word. Nonsense, it is a precise, well-defined, and useful term. True, it does get misused by marketing people. But the fact is that anyone who is purchasing a large system of any sort, if they know what they're doing, will have some concern for scalability. > Finally, a place for me to share MY story! Isn't this a huge reason for people going to blogging platforms? On the other hand: > This website's music is great - turn it up! Definitely. No one has ever said that, ever, in the history of the web.

> Definitely. No one has ever said that, ever, in the history of the web. Unless the site was specifically about that music.

> Isn't this a huge reason for people going to blogging platforms? Yes, but that's not what it's lampooning. TONS of ads and websites invite people to "share their story" or try to take advantage of user generated content. It's a cheesy cop out. No one wants to share their Doritos story on the Doritos website.

  Perhaps that's a missing stock photo: "I would share my story, but I'm just not incentivized enough."

  Correction: You wish no one wanted to share their Doritos story on the Doritos website. The sad part is that many times people do.

Agreed with the last point. MySpace learned this the hard way.

Actually, I said that about the Land of Lisp site.
