Kompis.biz

At the company I worked at in 2001, we launched a small website aiming to drive new customers to us. By making a spoof on three (in Sweden) well-known magazines, we tried to make the user place a fake advert in one of the 'magazines'. The user was then presented with employees that would suit the user's needs.

It was a pretty good idea, but unfortunately crippled by the fact that the management at my company didn't want to publish the spoofed magazines. Instead, names of the real magazines were used which of course scared people away, thinking that they received utterly boring spam. Here's the original idea though.
