Checking out the site, it's actually pretty impressive. Not in the well-designed sense, but in the having-an-actual-product sense (even if it's, you know, a blatant ripoff of the sites he listed...http://www.globalcommunity.me/blog/ feels like it takes the cake in that regard). I'm curious about where he got his funding from.

Edit: The alt-text for his "Blog" image is literally 'scritter'. My co-workers are giving me funny looks.

I laughed out loud when I clicked that page. His mascot looks like the Twitter bird on meth.

That's actually a free icon from a Twitter icon pack. I've seen it in a few roundups. Nice that he's using a creative commons artistic twitter rendition icon as his mascot.

He's just cobbling together existing software. The auction is a default skin of PHPProBid.

I don't recognize the other sections, but none of them have the same look and feel (other than the logo...which is still a stretch). I think it's safe to say each section is just white-labeled software someone else created.

I love the unattributed quote.
