Oh snap! My MyLot bank is frozen! Plus a thought about Sweeba and Bubblews

Tweet

My blasted bank is frozen here at MyLot. I'm always bummed when that happens, because I can't tell how I'm doing. I think it generally catches up later, but it's still frustrating. Any other frozen banks out there? Mine's been that way for two or three hours. As for Sweeba, I don't think it's run by the Bubblews crew. The hype on the front page looks like a poor copy of Bubblews's early hype: "Sweeba is a NEW EXCITING social movement." And the following, from their "Disclaimer," sounds like a way of saying, if we don't pay you, don't come after us: "We will not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising under this disclaimer or in connection with our website, whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise - including, without limitation, any loss of profit, contracts, business, goodwill, data, income, revenue or anticipated savings." So they've learned from Bubblews's mistakes. But a glaring and uncorrected typo in their TOS suggests an even lower level of professionalism than was found on Bubblews: " You can delete your account within your members area or emailing info@sweeba.com wit (sic) your username and the subject DELETE." Also, most of the posts I saw were pretty ridiculous: pictures of half-naked Asian women with text like "How I look?" and then maybe a comment saying "Look good. Young but well-endowed." (I'm paraphrasing.) Is this Bubbews for adolescents? I think not. I think its run by rank amateurs, not seasoned...um...whatever.
