Enough Already With All the Damned Mingle2 Quiz Thingymahjigs
Jul 5th, 2007 by Alex
They came out of nowhere and now they’re everywhere. How do they have the bandwidth to support all the hotlinking? Are IPOs coming back?
The Mingle2 quizes are cute in a 1996 sort of way, but they’re hardly worth pasting cheeky HTML. Hideous text is better. To answer the handful of people who have asked me to post the results of one or two, I give you all of the ones that looked like they were worth doing.
Some rather insightful — and I use that word very loosely — things that I’ve learned about myself as a human being from these multiple choice wonders.
- I’m 68% addicted to blogging.
- Geek that I am, I can name 43 HTML elements in 5 minues. That’s about half of the spec which I thought was somewhat impressive, but in a seperate quiz I’m only 47% geek. Hmm.
- My blog is rated R due to the words hell (2x) and pain (1x). Weird.
- That I’m a C student in 8th grade science. Not a shocker.
- My cadaver is worth $4,200ish. Eh, I’d hope that my insurance policy will pay out more than that.
- I have a 60% chance of surviving a zombie apocalype. Not shabby. On the question of where to go in the event of a zombie attack, I had to choose “the closest fortified building” even though the building I would choose isn’t the closest. My buddies know what I’m talking about.
I don’t know what to say.
It appears that Mingle2 is actually a dating site. I’ve yet to see any media mentions or reviews of how it compares to the big boys.
Stupid effectiveness of viral marketing… you’d think this was a paid post.
Grr.
