'Net running red with spilled tomato sauce
VirtualFoodFight.com is using greeting card and advanced email technology to make a complete mess of the Internet and people are loving every minute of it. In less than a month, over 250,000 people have had food hurled at them from VirtualFoodFight.com.
VirtualFoodFight.com is making history by starting the very first online food fight. They're making a complete mess of the Internet and people are loving every minute of it.
VirtualFoodFight.com has taken greeting card technology and mixed it with a food fight theme. Unlike most virtual card sites, VirtualFoodFight.com utilizes HTML mail technology to bring the fun right to the recipient's email, instead of asking them to visit a page on the Web to view the greeting. VirtualFoodFight.com has also made it possible for people to hurl the mouth-watering greetings at many folks at once, rather than the more typical one-card-at-a-time approach. Consider it rapid-fire food tossing. Lastly, VirtualFoodFight.com makes it possible for people to retaliate or toss at others, right from a form
embedded within the message itself if their email client supports that functionality. If an email client doesn't support this, then the recipient
can retaliate directly from a page on the actual Web site.
