9ruler Brian Benzinger emailed me to tell me about a site his company has launched called unFortunate, which provides a fun service for people to share (most probably fictional) fortunes from their fortune cookies!
Some fortunes are hilarious, such as ‘help! I’m trapped in a fortune cookie factory!’ and ‘your food was poisoned’! The site has a voting system so people can highlight the most funny fortunes and get the unfunny ones down to the bottom.
The site lets you make your own fortunes online which you can print out and share with friends; you can keep these private or put it into the system for public enjoyment!
It has a marvelous design too: Ajax, standard-compliant and beautiful CSS and a tasteful use of a wide range of colours.
It’s only been around since the start of this month but I’m told that during its first week it received over 7000 unique visits and 500 submissions, which is quite an achievement especially considering Brian only made a sideblog post about it!
