The Best Progressive Sites Ever?
Nov 1st, 2007 by director
There’s an interesting development in the world of web sites today. Seth Godin, the founder of Squidoo, has established a sister site to Squidoo. It’s called, simply, Ever, but of course, it’s not really that simple.
The secret of Ever.com is in its subdomains, and subdomains of subdomains. They combined to produce longer subdomains that describe superlatives of the web: The best, the worst, the weirdest. For example,
Blogs:
Roughest.blog.ever.com comes together to make a page describing the roughest blog ever.
Zaniest.blog.ever.com takes note of the most zany blog ever
Going even further, weirdest.blog.ever.com identifies the weirdest blog ever
It isn’t just a media fest, however. Far from it. Ever.com includes the following superlatives on religion: The best god ever and the smartest religion ever.
Politics, of course, is not out of the game. The political gear are given the following awards: Best bumper sticker ever and best t-shirt ever. That ought to come in handy for the 2008 presidential election, when bumper stickers and buttons are going to be debating more than the candidates.
Could Ever.com ever get to be too much, though? Did it ever occur to Ever.com’s creators that the site could be used as a spam machine to push unworthy sites? Yes, actually, it did. That’s why Ever.com has anti-bot software installed, to make sure that Ever.com pages are human made, not automatic robot blog nonsense.
I guess that means that Ron Paul’s supporters probably won’t be seen much on Ever.com, given that Ron Paul is the most bot-prone candidate ever.
