Kookies.it - Create Your Own Fortune

Let’s face it: half the fun of going out to eat at a Chinese restaurant is seeing what the fortune cookie has in store for you. If you agree with me, then you should take a glance at Kookies.it. This quirky site allows you to create your own fortune cookie messages, for you to send them to your friends or leave them on the site for others to read and rate. Using the site is simple, just click on the Create Fortune link and spell out somebody else’s future for them. While this might sound boring at first, it soon becomes addictive. If you type a particularly witty or funny one, you might get the top ranking spot. Now, there are no real benefits to having the top spot, but it’s still fun to see how well people take to your fortune cookie messages. Users are constantly uploading new fortune cookie messages, so you can never know what to expect from the site. Forget the Magic 8 Ball for consulting your future, fortunes cookies are here.

“View and create fortune cookies”

The internet works in weird ways. This site, as simple as it is, quickly becomes addicting, much like Twitter did at the beginning. The key aspect of the site is that it’ll keep you coming back for more.

Will users get bored with the fortune cookie reading and writing too fast? Shouldn’t they think of other features to make the site hold the users’ attention longer?
