Is This Web Site 'Hot or Not?' CommandShift3 Lets YOU Decide

CommanShift3.com


Who doesn't remember Hot or Not, that bastion of Web 1.0 semi-sleaze and lost productivity? The simple hotness rating site hit almost two million page views in its first week in 2000 and spawned countless spinoffs, but the recently launched site CommandShift3 puts a distinct slant on the concept, geeky though it may be. By pitting two Web site screenshots against one another, the site allows you to channel your inner (or outer) design snob and choose a winner. And then you can do it again. And again. It may not reach mainstream 'meat market' appeal, but enough people have been subjected to horrible-looking Web sites by now that we think it could put its own dent in the productive hours of judgmental humanity. And isn't that what it's all about?
