Deliveries Get BentBustedBroken.com

I work from home, so I still need to get copies of our mothership publication, PC Magazine, sent to me. I'm lucky enough to get them just before subscribers... but I wonder sometimes if I'd be better off not getting them from UPS. I think the driver uses the envelope they come in to wipe his feet.

Now, I have a place to vent about that and any other bent, busted, or broken deliveries to my house. BentBustedBroken.com is a brand new photo and video sharing site with one goal: for members to show off the condition of their most horrible, messed-up deliveries.



You can share them with others, naturally, but better yet, share them with the post office, FedEx, UPS, or other services that crushed that box. At least that's the theory. BentBustedBroken.com doesn't really have a facility in its pages to forward images/videos to the carriers directly - you'll have to do that yourself. I hope this will change but right now the site is so new that there's not enough shared to make it worthwhile - just 3 videos and 13 image from about 12 members as of this morning.

The site was built using MediaShare, a service that lets anyone build/host a photo/video sharing site of their own, so if you've got a great idea for other destroyed (or undestroyed) items to build a sharing community around, go crazy. Maybe you'll create the next LOLcats, but with video.
