I was feeling quite confident about my team's efforts. Now I'm not so sure.

This, my friends, is web 4.0, and a lesson for us all.

That said, I feel worthy of being beaten by such a worthy competitor, something clearly at the pinnacle of not only computing, but human evolution.

Kudos to you, Zombo. You have bested us all.

I like the clean, minimalistic design. While the voice explains the purpose of the site quite nicely, you need a tagline and a clear written explanation as well: if the user doesn't see the value proposition in 3 seconds, they're gone (and what if they have their sound off?)

I also like the fact that you don't have to register to use your site.

I'm afraid the collaboration and social aspects are somewhat lacking - you should focus on those.

I can see the market for your site, but do you have a solid business plan to monetize it?

the audio is annoying, like one of those greeting cards that start playing music...at least there should be some way of turning it off.

I was on the website for about 3 seconds and closed the browser due to the music, and alas, will never know what ZomboCOM does!

well, am i missing something? There is a about minute audio-only intro which just tells me i am at zombo.com. Nothing else. whats the point? altough, without headphones (i tried first) this is even more confusing.. /Toni

I was going to link to the Wikipedia article on it but apparently the Wikipedians have dubbed zombocom not notable.

I don't find ZomboCom or this post linking to it at all funny.

Furthermore, I doubt even user zombo developed Zombo.com or that he/it is a YC applicant.

I saw this site many months ago and it hasn't changed a bit.

These sort of time-wasters can damage goodwill on this forum. Good for April 1 and that's about it.
