A more sensible sense of direction for Hi-Res!

[rooney]

That's really clever. I was thinking WTF and then it all made sense. Problem is I bet some people leave the site before they get it.

I always wanted to start a new life in Tajikistan. It's a lovely place especially this time of year. Notice how they rarely mention that they are a Christian organization. They seem to be recruiting missionaries.

did you go through the whole process and see what happends?

[aversion]

I love hi-res but I'm not so in love with this. The execution is good and the concept is interesting, but it's just too long, I think a lot of people will miss the point of it.

They should tighten it up.

nah, they're just a charity, on of the biggest NGOs in england, they don't do missionary work. The point of the site is to make you realise how good you have it.

I think it's pretty clever.

BTW, it's not a cult. It's a charity organization. Ever hear of salvation army? They don't mention they are "Christian" either, because that isn't really the focus here.

well it DOES say "christian aid" at the beginning.

[Ookblah]

i'm not denying they aren't. I'm just saying like the salvation army, their goal is not to be some "religious organization" but to be a charity organization. As aversion posted posted earlier, the focus is to let all of us know how good we have it. Let's keep the focus there.

yeah. cool site.

Then I still don't get the purpose. Do they really help you relocate?

Read the site.

The point is to make you think about how you think your life sucks, then show you how life is when it really sucks.

so you give money out of guilt for being so damn selfish all the time...

*begins to unpack cautiously and slowly*

w,wh,what?

[sirhoff]

Woa, very unclear. I suppose the site is alright but I just don't think it is remotely effective.

[aversion]

I didn't have a problem understanding what the site is trying to say but I think it takes too long to say it. If you sit through all the forms and stuff you'll get it, it's very clear at that point, but I just think most people won't get through all that. They know it's not a genuine offer to help you move, and you can see the countries on offer are all dirt poor, so why would you go through the rest of the forms.

so no, I don't think it's effective either.

[No-Tec]

I went through the site three times and it always gets stuck at the "Processing Data" after the psychometric test.

*finishes unpacking, logs back on AIM*

Home sweet home.

Not nearly enough info/examples of what texactly they want you to do. Especially if it's asking for a major lifestyle change....
