Self-Gratification
of the Day Award

For the most unnecessary - but coolest - product, website, or doodad of the day.

The Winner for March 1, 2001

eCrush.com

This is a site so unnecessary, it's gotta be only a matter of days before the company files for bankruptcy. Take advantage of it while you can.

The sole purpose of this site (with the exception of a few even more ridiculous features like "horoscopes") is to allow users to send anonymous "I've got a crust on you" e-mails.

Oops. Actually, that should be "crush". Telling someone you have a "crust" on them has a much lower chance of succeeding, and is not recommended.

So, the deal is that you register with them, send your "eCrush", then wait and see if you get a response. The only way to get a response is if the person you've e-mailed registers and happens to name you as someone they're interested in. So they won't ever find out that you e-mailed them unless they have a crush on you, too.

Ain't it great that technology has allowed us to be so spineless? But what the hell, it sure beats whacking somebody over the head with a club and dragging them back to the cave. When eCrust comes along, then we'll really be talking. I can think of a half a dozen people I'd like to Crust.
