An unintentional funny from Connect

LaughingVulcan · 08-29-2007, 12:40 AM

So I called up the Connect website on Firefox, just to browse around a bit before bed. And on first load I got the following screen (red circle is mine, what I thought the

part was...)

As soon as I mouse-overed one of the tabs it went away, but I just thought it was too interesting not to share.

So what would your footer text be?

"We never thought the NIV Bible would rocket to the top bestseller so quick! Or that same other 9 titles would hang around for weeks!"

My footer text would be: "For community support and a lot of fun, visit <link>MobileRead</link>"

My footer text would read:

At Sony we spend billions to develop the best hardware solutions and destroy then with proprietary software that no one likes. Thank you for putting up with Sony*™ Connects.

Sony has come a long way.

Now that Nook is here and Kindle 2 is popular and every Tom Richard and Harry are putting out eINK readers, with limited quality (FoxIt). I have to say, I am still happy with my Sony Reader from Aug 2007.

I might change my mind when Nook 2.0 comes out
