I think if you replace the word "silly" with "useless" it would better fit as a description. The site doesn't do anything except take exactly what you input and create an item for it on the page.

I don't see the point at all.

Suomi35,

Since the nameservers for verbanoun are located at suomi35.org, I'm going to assume that you are the creator of this website.

I have to agree with hybrid8 on the point that I don't "get it" either. The whole experience consists basically of just entering a phrase into a webform and then looking at it.

There's no reason for me to actively participate because I get nothing out of it. And there's no reason for me to read entries by other people because they aren't very funny. The site does nothing for me except post my three-word phrase for others to see and I get no feedback except for a potential rating. I get no entertainment or social value out of the experience.

Now having said that, I do like the design and layout of the page. Additionally, I think if you can somehow modify the experience to be more game-like, interactive, or challenging then it could be a hit.

I'm just hosting it for a friend. She's always coming up with things like this and I thought I'd post it here to get feedback. I do agree...seems, as I said initially, silly. Thanks smile

By the way, what's the significance of your nic, suomi35, if you don't mind me asking?
