Last week I got my YTB announcement saying that YTB.com had been re-done. They were extremely proud of this accomplishment and the "Still Not Yet A Director After Three Years" even blogged about it!
Check it out for yourself at YTB.com. To be honest, it really does not say anything. Really nothing. I learned there is more parking at HQ. I learned that (as suspected and stated) YTB only earned the Pinnacle Award one year (2007) and finally I learned that you really have no way to contact anyone from the "Contact Us" page--well, you can if you want to call or mail them a letter but there is no email contact. But judging from the way they handled the RTA sites, it is not a surprise.
One redeeming quality is pure entertainment--content aside, there is now no real need to download the Whack-A-Mole game. Just go to YTB.com and play Whack-A-Guy Who Has No Experience In Travel. Be warned, with every click, either Coach, Scott or Kim will jump up at you--and if you are lucky and hit the trifecta, you get all three at once.
My top score is 1574.
Oh, it's the new sugar coated version of the YTB website!
ReplyDeleteThe website talks about how many people have come to work at YTB in the last couple of years, but fails to mention those who were laid off a couple of months ago.
Is that the new "glow in the dark" pic of Kim at the bottom of the page??
P.I.O.T.B. here. So what is the point of this "new" website??? ROTFL I just perused the entire site. You are right, there is nothing of any substance or value there that is "new". Is this what they are paying Tackett for? Man, they sure are not getting their monies worth out of him. LMAO
ReplyDeleteI am suprised they still keep the stock info on the site and are not embarrassed by it's performance. But then their SEC filings are still there which not many YTBers even read and if they do, they deny the truth of them.
I love the Old Fart's in your face photo! What an ego! Frankly, a high school student could design a much better, more professional site. I mean, having a larger parking lot (well the lot was already there since it's a former K-Mart lol) is the big news? That's impressive! Sheeesh
You know they really should get out of the travel business and into the weight loss biz. Coach looks like he needs to lose a few pounds. And, Kim could be there poster boy.
ReplyDeleteP.I.O.T.B. here. Well, since YTB is already selling add ons like flowers and candy, maybe gym memberships should be next! lol All those gourmet meals and expensive wines and champagnes, paid for by this scam, that the poor YTB members could never afford with their income, (or lack therof), are really beginning to show at the top of the Pyramid bellys aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI have to confess, I was really confused when I went to that site! It really does say next to nothing. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteROFL.....Next to nothing!!?? That site opens a new site that has 8 tabs of information. And there's next to nothing??? I don't get it either. But I do know you people are just full of hatred for YTB. Careful, hatred will eat you alive. Let alone interrupt your own businesses! LOL
ReplyDeleteJakki--your 8 tabs of information is the investors info site. The content there has not changed from the old site. But apparently they have taken off the recruiting videos from their site. They place them on the Reps sites now and I am sure it is yet another reactionary measure--let the reps recruit and not YTB.
ReplyDeleteanon is right Jakki, it's just an animated press release with virtually no new information.
ReplyDeleteThe 'whack a mole' analogy did come to mind with all that popping up and down. I hope they didn't have to pay the new marketing gut too much for an old rehash.
Gut not guy - a typo but since I don't know what he looks like....I'll leave it.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well if it isn't YESur posing as Jakki now.
ReplyDeleteNews Flash! Stop the Presses!
ReplyDeleteIt has just come to the attention of the Critics Corner that Doug B. has been named Executive Director of a new domestically produced play - Get Rich while you Sleep -
Let's join together and congratulate Mr B on his long awaited Director position. We hope it brings him much joy and satisfaction.
I thought Dougie had a job driving the Weiniemobile...
