Uber.com site = ugh

[AusDLK]

Cripes! What a totally not ready for prime time dog this site is.

Navigation is far from obvious to manage your page -- ie., try to find how to change your default photo.

Then change your page's profile -- ie., to a blogger theme -- and then watch it disappear.

Then delete the (seven default) Friends (who are not really your friends) and watch them reappear on a later page refresh.

I give up. It sucks.

What on Earth is uber.com?

This is the second thread in a day I see about it here.

Did I miss something?

Uber.com, Cameragas.com... All these crazy frenzy sites won't last too long, IMO.

I am quite satisfied because it didn't cost a whole lot to join and if I don't feel like it I don't have to go there. Sounds like my local pub.

I think it's some sort of myspace concept. The reason why you're hearing so much about it is that they're currently trying to lure people by offering free crack....or a free Leica M7. I can't remember 😉

The site will probably make it with improvements but I personally can't get past the name "Uber", which for me associates with the "Deutschland über alles" song which gives me the hibbie gibbies.. Dunno, I think that picking a harsh-sounding word for the site name makes it less inviting, not very "cool" 😉

I had a quick look. It looks like Myspace. Since I can't see the point of any of these sites I decided not to bother.

MySpace is 20 times worse. I hate that crap... All these stupid kiddies throwing crap onto their page what with their transparent panels and sh**ty background music and whatnot..

Absolutley no interest here. What purpose does it serve? Weeks can keep the M7, Im happy with my GSN.

What the? Lousy javascript to move images around the webpage, CPU load hits 100%... no thanks.

(Edit: Don't run the website through a HTML validator either! It's not pleasant to read!)

 

[Bill58]

Sounds like some weak get- rich- quick scheme to me.

Free draw for an M7 and 50 Elmar. I joined. Please be my Uber-friend. 🙂

Hmm... actually, I didn't have any trouble at all. I wonder if there are browser issues that cause changes to not stick.

As a bonus, in addition to the M7 sweepstakes, you have to add Mr. Weeks as one of your friends - I think not.

;-)

Are you serious? Maybe he'll introduce everyone to his celebrity friends too.

Well... some of us actually are his friend, so not such a big issue. 😛

😉

 

[ibcrewin]

Yeah.. I signed up in hopes of getting an M7... The site does sucks big hairy donkey balls.

R_D,

No doodoo? That is so fornicatin' awesome that you are Chris fornicatin' Weeks' fornicatin' friend. I can't believe the fornicatin' uber-trolls here on fornicatin' RFF can't see what a fornicatin' honor it is to be Chris fornicatin' Weeks' friend in any fornicatin' capacity. That, and a fornicatin' free M7 - he's surely a pretty fornicatin' nice guy.

:angel:

(Now THAT my friends, is sarcasm. Just feeling cheeky and if you don’t like it doodoo on you!) 😀 😀


BTW: Mr. Weeks' photos really are quite good - much nicer than his online language...

 

[dexdog]

I concur with pesphoto on the uber site. I don't even want a fornicatin' M7.

Everyone is allowed to have friends 😀 😉

Well in reality he might be a decent guy, but his online personality does not make me wish to make his aquaintance 😱

Ciao

Joerg

BTW Mr. Weeks will not like my pictures.....😀
