Kuwl Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That is quite funny. I wonder which site was live first? I would guess that someone at theplanet saw the GM site and said "I want that" and hired a team to do it... just my guess though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 The previous TP design was ripped off from a Template Monster design so I would assume that GM was first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwl Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah, remember their old design. Funny:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR-Rob Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 lol, id also agree about the GM site being the first site. I got a slight feeling the GM have plenty enough money not to rip someones work! Amazing now days how many people rip other peoples work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Except for the fact that the planets site loads like @ss for me while GM loads in about 0.00003 seconds. Also The planets flash images never show up properly for me. Probably because it loads so damn slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Interesting how The Planet chnaged their selling scheme with 2 different branches now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Reminds me of when they had the 4 lines. (Insomnia, Server Matrix, etc). Their server list page looks like Softlayer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes does look like a mix of Softlayer and layered tech. Maybe ThePlanet is not aware of their design looking like GM's, designer is in for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwl Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 What annoys the hell out of me is every time you browse to a new page, you get a new "Hey, there is a live person here, click me click me!" window.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed3020 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Reminds me of when they had the 4 lines. (Insomnia, Server Matrix, etc). Their server list page looks like Softlayer's. Sure is a reminder of back then eh Jason. I was upset when those brand identities were lost at TP, and now they are back at it. GM Website works a heck of a lot better than TP's version, which still does display 100% correct for me. Oh well the world keeps turning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 You guys are too young. I was with TP when that was all that they had. Then they started SM, then the others, then the merger, and all back to just TP, now they are going back in the direction of multiple lines.

nosit1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Mark W.: Welcome to Server Sales, how may I help you? Customer: Just a question Mark W.: ok Customer: But why does your site look really familiar to GM's site. Mark W.: I have no idea Mark W.: What type of hosting do you need a server for - simple website, heavy graphics or streaming media? Customer: More interested in why you have the same site design as General Motors does. Mark W.: Maybe because it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford is the only one of the big three that might make it through this, but only if they implement their recently announced strategy and then some.

ribshap Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I wonder hows Honda stock is doing? I guess all those civic jokes this whole decade are coming back to haunt them as they are probably shopping for the gas efficient 140 horse power cars now.
