Loose the name

smartpox

Through Mashable today I came across probably the worst named product ever Smartpox.

Loved this from Mashable
“The site also builds some social features around the codes, allowing you to create a profile, find users and codes in your locality and leave comments for other members. But strangely, there’s no social networking element - you can’t add users to your friends list, for instance”

Jaysus lads that doesnt make an ounce of sense,you can create a profile and find users in your locality but there’s no social networking element.

From Webster’s
Pox
Noun

1. A common venereal disease caused by the Treponema pallidum spirochete; symptoms change through progressive stages; can be congenital (transmitted through the placenta).

2. A contagious disease characterized by purulent skin eruptions that may leave pock marks.

Have they no feckin friends or something?

P.S if you hurry to the site you will see that Jasonk from Nyc is the newest POX
Brilliant stuff, worth a mention by my favorite Skeptic even?

Have you come across anything like this before?
