nciku promotion

So nciku, which seems to be working perfectly so far this morning, is having a promotion. Give them a new slogan, because, to quote Dan,  “many people said that “More than a dictionary” wasn’t ‘cool’ enough, or it didn’t pack the punch that it should, so we decided to make you put your money where your mouth was and see what you can come up with.”

Given the troubles I’ve had accessing nciku over the last couple of days, and because it’s twenty past nine on a Saturday morning, I’m tempted to say “Pretty cool, when it works”, which shows you why I don’t work in marketing. But seriously, nciku is an excellent tool for those learning Chinese and they deserve the coolest slogan they can get, so Chinese learners, head on over there and give it your best shot- or at least come up with a better slogan than I can. After all, they’ve got cool toys to give away.
