You hear about it almost everyday… there is a nicely designed web site done by a team (or sometimes an individual) that is not only nice to look at, but is also a unique idea, and a fledgling business struggling to be both born and survive in today’s depressed economy.

Des Moines has become a hotbed of web entrepreneurs, strategists, social marketing mavens, and other services and businesses catering to the tech community.  I even wrote about some of them in a previous blog post, here – http://www.troyrutter.com/2008/07/08/big-fish-gets-cut-down-to-size-and-smiles.html.

One of those is a unique way to save money, and have relatives, friends and complete strangers contribute towards a savings goal.  A new bank called Smartypig.

Now, take a look at the following site, a complete ripoff (based in Romania) -

http://www.trustypig.com

Their blog currently has comments UN-MODERATED… so feel free to tell these bozos how you really feel about the “Trustworthiness” of the Trusty-Pig.

I just don’t get how some people find this “acceptable.”

Bad pig!
