Sprint’s Plug Into Now dashboard
Filed under: Fun, Internet, Adobe, Freeware, Web
If you’re not a fan of Flash, you definitely don’t want to check out Sprint’s new Plug Into Now dashboard. If you dare to click through, you’ll be treated with sensory overload, internet style. The page is a cornucopia of snippets of information, with one theme: Now. A computerized female voice periodically speaks, saying things like “13,628 letters are being mailed right now”, or “8,971,000 workers are out sick right now”.
The voice also invites you to click on the page, where you will find such treasures as a button that says Push Me, then when you push it, gleefully displays a message that the button doesn’t do anything. The page has all sorts of running tallies, such as how many coffee cups are being manufactured at this instant, or the current population of the world.
As much as I feel like this dashboard is an abomination, it’s hard not to explore it.
