Social Networking Site Review: Hoverspot

Site: Hoverspot.com
Users: Honestly… I don’t care on this one…
Features:
Normally I would sit here and try to pick out some of the different features of the website that are redeeming qualities, however there is no such thing with hoverspot. It just feel like someone decided to start a social networking website with some friends with the goal of jamming advertising down my throat.
It has the point system that we see on some of the other social networking sites, but it seem less about participating and encouraging people to view content than to get people to whore the site out to new people. It just feels like a giant MLM scheme to me.
Review:
I would rather jab a spork into my eyeball than ever go back to that site again. Needless to say I am not going to recommend the site, in fact I might openly root for them to go out of business.

yeah, first! Whatever that means… Of course I had to check it out to see if it’s that hideous and yes it is.. the design is awful.. what’s up with that baby? Looks like the ones from Ally Mcbeal… (shudders) I actually like Pownce.. got to join yesterday.. much better design and template.
I am going to take a look at Pownce either next week or the week after… I need to play with it more.
Looks like a very cheap myspace clone.
Not a good sign when the first thing that happens is that my popup blocker kicks in.
I totally agree with your review!
i got the invite, what a joke, why would anyone in their right mind put their popups right on the front page, they should have at least put it a few pages in so they can get some members. “popupspot” would be more appropriate. this is the kinda place you invite your enemy’s to join :D
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I’ve been on Hoverspot for a while and its pretty kewl. Their site always works and I don’t get a lot of errors n stuff like on myspace. They made a new design for the site and its really kewl.
hahahaha dude death to hoverspot!!!!!!! only weirdos go there ( JOey) that place totally sucks ass big time!!!!! and whats with that chick “vicky”? …..”im vicky lol” dumbass broad!!!

its seems just to cheat people , i mean to say this website is not one of the good where people really can make some good things for their life its been used for the volguraty, and fake working
I agree with a lot of the people who commented. Hoverspot is a scam and just cheats people.
What a terrible experience. I got an email from my friend telling me to join so that she can get points and so I just decided to join and not really do anything. Well, once I joined, I let hoverspot check my address book to see if anyone i know had an account. I see a few different lists. One long list of people who don’t have an account, some other list, and a short list with the people who do have an account. Underneath EACH of these lists, there is a separate submit button. So I click the submit button that is listed under the people who already have an account and the next day, I find out that an email was sent out to everyone on my list (including past instructors, past coworkers, etc). Why do they even bother to put a separate button under the different list if it’s going to email everyone? Well, to make it worse, it is a personal-sounding email that goes like this:
Your friend — has invited you to join HoverSpot:
Message from your friend:
Can u do this??? I think I invited u before right?
It would really help me get some points and win some stuff! The link is: —
Message from a friend? What a lie. I never said that that. I realized that this is the same exact email that my friend sent to me earlier.
So I finally delete the account and I get an email saying:
“Your hoverspot account has been deleted because you have been determined to be in violation of the HoverSpot terms of service.”
Violation?? So I check the terms of services and it doesn’t say anything about violations if I delete my account.
So basically, it seems as if these people are thinking, “let’s trick the people so that we can get their address list. If they leave, then let’s make them feeling guilty.” They obviously do not know anything about branding and marketing. People are not stupid. If people are treated as if they are stupid, they won’t like the product or service. And if people don’t like the product or service, then they’ve defeated the purpose of creating the product or service because without people, the product or service is dead.
Thanks, that’s what I was looking for. I got the same message:
“Can u do this?? I think I invited u before right?
It would really help me get some points and win some stuff!
The link is:”
In the best of cases HoverSpot is dishonest and decidedly not “kewl”.
Well I’m not sure if that’s the type of email I got from them. I got an invitation ages ago from a friend who was active there. (Maybe like 2 years ago)
Only recently I went to the site again cause of an email I got in my inbox notifying me of a message I have received. I notice my friend is no longer there, probably cause of everything you guys have said.
The annoying thing I have experienced is getting random girls messaging me like, what’s up and how’s it going, and I responded really confused why girls would message me like that and then the response is exactly them same or a similar phrase, so how’s it going? and after asking why they are acting like this, it’s all the same!!!
idk if there’s a catch or some reason they do that, I even emailed the help team and told them about this nuisance but they didn’t respond. I will delete my account though. Absolutely pointless site. Confusing and hideous design.
Multiply.com is better!
dude i know!! i joined and i got a comment on it and she was like ”im vicky and im your first comment! woo!” i was like uh get a life.
