New Facebook App: Spank A Friend

Facebook-Web-Design — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:36:19 +0000

When’s the last time you poked one of your friends? Before your mind starts to run rampant, I’m referring to a Facebook Poke. I’m sure most of you, like myself, have tried to figure out what the benefit of poking really is? Our findings: it’s actually kind of pointless. I mean, what if the essence of poking was tweaked slightly, and turned into a quasi-game?

Let me introduce you to Spank A Friend, a brand new app for Facebook that allows you to spank your friends, while keeping point tallies for various actions. Sound interesting? Well, we think it is.

It’s easy to use as well, upon authorization you’re greeted with two options: Choose a Friend and Spank Bank. I believe the first is pretty self-explanatory. Now the Spank Bank sounds comical, but essentially it’s the leaderboard for the app. You can see how your spanking stacks up against your friends and users from around the world.

It’s a spank or be spanked world, how will you stand up to the challenge?

Images can make or break a website, whether that be adding a humanist feel to a site, adding animation and mouse over effects or finalizing that amazing design that just can’t be achieved with CSS alone. Yet all these images could cost the biggest price of any website, loss of visiting traffic. If a website takes too long to load or is unusable due to all of the images then it’s game over as the user will quickly go back to Google and search again.
