Weebly, the worst Web 2.0 app to make an escort site with ever

Escorts love Slide!If there's a legitimate use for Weebly, it has been seared from my brain by the one-two assault of Pierce89's escort site, which is also one of the webpage-building service's most-trafficked subdomains. It's not that running a girl-for-hire agency off of a free website generator backed by Paul Graham's Y Combinator is illegitimate. It's just that Pierce89 is doing it wrong, with an autoplaying loop of Mariah Carey and the Slide-powered rotation of escort photos with dancing flower blossoms layered over them. User-generated Ajax-and-widgets nonsense has lowered the barrier for every aspiring player with a Boost mobile phone and an Internet connection, but this is a new sex-trade low. For god's sakes, if you can't be bothered with a real URL, why not just really let yourself go and cobble together Xanga and Photobucket?

Pierce89 Loves Weebly!

And no, hiring a girl who is so brazenly branded with sex-shorthand like "BBBJ" is not a safe idea, as much as I don't want to lose these ladies any business. Girls, discretion — and getting your own blog — is advised.
