Spindex - A Failed Viagra Tablet Launch by Microsoft

    While I was busy in my regular work, my tweet deck was popping up with SPINDEX related tweets. Thought for a moment was,"Aaaghh!!, yet another viagra kinda stuff spamming me". You know why? ... because the name synonyms with elopathic medicines like we have IODEX for pain reliever :)

    Like regular testosterone rush whenever I see something new, I jumped over to try it out. I did it with left hand & then with right hand but eeww!! it didn't worked out. By left I meant 'Firefox' and Right stands for obviously 'IE'. Now, here are my observations of a fail launch.

    First when I typed http://www.spindex.com, I was guided to the search engine. I thought that as if I have typed it wrong. So, I wrote Spindex in Bing but Bing didn't came up with regular website address rather links and news. Now, if it really is Microsoft project, then it should have been listed. Don't you think so? . Wondering why they went for .me domain. Did they thought that this will give them cool feeling like Apple? Smelling something burning, right? Ok. the website address is http://www.spindex.me for starter.

    Second, as i goes in deep, i meant clicking the links, I was guided to page with white bottom, which is not visible when i click on FULL SCREEN view.



    Did they made this page in Full screen view or what? Remember, that I tried with my left & my right!!.



    Since I didn't had the invite code, I have to click on empty square box present in the lower torso. Once clicked, my left did something strange. The happy and buttery text that you always write to ask for invite code started from middle.. God, I am happy... My left still has the power to get the things in middle, I guess!!




    :) Amazingly, my right did raise the thing to the right spot. Nothing bad about that.




    The final push was though the dirty one. I meant, the Push Button. My left & My right was not able to go forward any further as the SUBMIT button failed to reach to any orgasm!! Ohh.. Do I have to explain this too? :)
