TrustyPig Changes Site Design, Slightly
By Troy on Aug 13, 2008 in Web Design and Usability
In what can only be seen as a victory for everybody who has ever had their site design ripped off, the creators of TrustyPig have at least changed their sites colors and logo on their main blog to something other than the exceptional design by HappyCog they previously copied.
While it appears to only be minor css changes (the actual div structure remains the same) – this is definitely a mark in the win column for “the good guys.” After a public outcry and a flurry of postings around several different blogs, it looks we finally caught TrustyPig’s attention.
The SmartyPig logo still appears on TrustyPig’s blog header, but I am sure it is just an oversight, and the owners of TrustyPig know the Social Hijacking will continue to take place if this too is not corrected in a timely manner.
Thank you to everybody who put the word out on the shady Romanian company known as TrustyPig, and if you are into the High Yield Moneymaking “whatever” that TrustyPig is trying to peddle… I seriously urge you to reconsider doing business with people of that nature.
