Lincoln's Birthday Gets a Website!

Apparently the commission involved with organizing the events for Abraham Lincoln's birthday has just developed a website to share information about Lincoln's birthday and to generate buzz.

Here's the address:

http://www.lincoln200.net

Update: As Will points out in the attached post, if the bicentennial commission paid $100,000 for that site, they got ripped off. Big time!

Plus, as an aside, I tend to dislike websites with black backgrounds. I feel like they drain my web-surfing energies, and this comes from a guy who professionally surfs the web. No joke. I generally just feel like I need to navigate away from black (or even worse, red) websites.

I remember reading that the company who made the site was going to be paid $100,000 for it. THIS is all they came up with for six figures? Someone got serious ripped off. What a joke.

Yeah, that site doesn't look great at all. The commission would've been better off setting up a blog using blogger. I'm shocked that they paid $100,000 for that site.
