ITroom.com: Enter the IT ROOM



“Hold the line, please” is probably one of the most dreaded sentences, not only in the IT world. As everone knows, this sentence might eventually lead to several hours of time wasted on trying to get through to just any person in a help centre, who can help figure out and fix problems of any kind instead of being put on hold, once again. Hardly does one ever end up with a problem fixed not having forfeited his or her sanity for the day.

Spinal cord of the global economy

www.itroom.com is a site devoted to the ones keeping the “spinal cord of the global economy” working the way it should hardly ever being awarded the credit they deserve for their work. On the IT ROOM website, any registered user can share his or her personal IT horror story or video rant and enjoy the webisodes, video episodes featuring, so far, four heroes sharing with the world their IT horror stories.

An option, giving registered users the opportunity to share their personal horror stories with the world, includes the chance of winning a DELL Latitude Notebook. Users can vote for their favorite horror story after reviewing the stories uploaded. The story with the most votes as of January 30, 2008 does not only win the great notebook, but also gets the chance of becoming a featured hero in one of the webisodes.

This very attractive website, which is very easy to navigate, puts its finger on a sore spot by appealingly broadcasting notional horror stories and real-life stories and videos uploaded by the users congenially incorporating ironic and satiric elements drawn directly from life.
A website critically, but very amusingly reckoning the perks and flaws of the IT branch, which can only be recommended to admirers of good satire.
