techcrunch.com — The trick to any good humor or hoax site is an attention to detail and a seriousness about your work. Useless Account is the best recent example I’ve seen. It’s clear, for example, that more work has gone into this joke than many of the startups we see every day.

I like the 'Sign Up Now!!1' button. This worries me though:"Will you do anything with my information? Probably not. I envision it rotting away in a mySQL database somewhere. But if I do come up with something brilliant chances are I'll be giving free pro accounts away to useless account holders. You won't even have to sign up and you'll be happy."Does the definition of brilliant include "Diet-pill MLM Scheme?"

If there was some AdSense I think it would get much less respect and wipe out any hope of a laugh.

Is this an elaborate plan to harvest email addresses for spamming purposes? No no no no no! Most definitely not. I hate spammers probably more than the average person as I am a blogger that gets thousands of spam comments daily. Believe me I would listen to an entire Celine Dion album before selling (or giving away) emails to spammers.

One of the registration questions was:"What would you do for $1,000,000 that you wouldn't for $10,000?"I answered:"Win on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
