Happy Sheep?
March 6th 2008 09:02
I guess it has its points: happy is always a good word, if not the strongest adjective in the world, and sheep are associated with New Zealand in a big way. But they’re also seen as pretty dim and scatterbrained. Maybe not so good?
Considering how many sheep there are in New Zealand it’s surprising we’re not known by that name instead of ‘kiwis’, but plainly ‘sheep’ has too many weak connotations.
All that aside, Happy Sheep is a new site begun by Zillion, the online auction site that has survived alongside its much bigger brother, Trade Me, where many others have fallen. Its aim is to be a free classified site where you can advertise to people who live in your local area. As I write, there are 534 people visiting the site, so that’s not too bad for a startup. And free is good – watch out local newspapers! Your classified ads section may be starting to drain away…
The sheep pictured above is the mascot of the Happy Sheep site.
