43 RipOffs

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there are some shameless 43 Things copy-cat sites popping up internationally.
Check out Aimido, which is not bashful about adopting almost the exact same look and functionality as 43 Things. Wow, they even have management and advisors. To me, this says: “Here are the people who couldn’t find anything better to do than rip off an existing siteâ€. They look so respectable too, except maybe Harald. I’d like to know exactly what kind of advice the advisors are giving?
“We think you should look for an existing site and then basically copy it exactly. Oh, and make sure it’s in German.â€
Also, check out Aimi.cn (in Chinese)

The truest measure of success for the Robots may be a copy-cat porn site, perhaps www.43positions.com. That domain name is available, by the way.

Hah! I'm glad you checked on that one Carrick. I bet the teams would be valuable feature there.

I love when sites steal stuff and then say;
