YourMyCrush.com - find out who has a crush on you
From the people who brought you TextAnonymous.com, YourMyCrush.com is a cool tool for sending anonymous crush messages — a wicked idea. I’ve seen this work with email very successfully, although it’s been a while since I got one of those ’someone has a crush on you’ emails. Years, in fact. Alas.
With YourMyCrush.com, you need to get yourself a code (£1.00) which then allows you to send out your crush message.
If you get a Crush message, you can use the site to send a Crush message to the person you think it is. Good viral marketing potential!
Unlike the email systems of old — this one has a direct revenue stream associated with it. If you want to try and find out who the crush is, you have to get yourself a £1.00 token. If it’s not the person you thought it was — never fear — they’ve just received a text to let them know someone likes them… so you never know, you could get connected with your crush!
I think this an excellent implementation of the concept and I’ll be watching to see how it’s received.
It is worth noting that the charge is just £1 and not £1.50 as currently reported.

Are you able to update the picture of the site?
Posted by Guincho Guy on August 3rd, 2006 at 12:34 am.Great looking service, cool idea, wish I was getting the sms traffic. But why oh why do sites think that adding tuppence ha’penny to their coffers by adding crappy adverts to the bottom of their web pages (http://www.yourmycrush.com/claimcrushcode.html in particular) is gonna make their service look anything other than a cheap page for driving advertising revenue. I’m a teen looking to send a CRUSH to my classmate, so why the hell do I want to see adverts for “debt solutions” and “uk secured loans” or indeed “russian brides”. Hideous!! the sooner this kind of advert placement on consumer sites ends the better. Rant over.

Posted by Iain Townsend on August 12th, 2007 at 9:56 pm.Perhaps they realised the contraction of “you are” is “you’re” and renamed the site?
