Everyone’s a comedian…
A cool new mashup at Dilbert.com allows users to create their own punchline for the famous Dilbert comic strip. Focusing on interactivity, the site plans to eventually let users rewrite entire strips. This is a great example of an innovative way to engage consumers in a way that traditional newspapers are not able to do. When asked whether he expects to see funny suggestions, the original creator Scott Adams replied:
I think 99.9 percent of the submitted punch lines will be less funny than my original. After all, I’ve had a lot of practice. But with volume, that still leaves room for lots of comics that are better than the original. But we’ll see. This new model makes mocking your co-workers and boss a competitive sport, so it should be lots of fun. I submitted two alternative punch lines today myself, trying to top my original. It’s addicting.
