On competition in listings magazines...

Posted March 5, 2001 2:07 PM.

Spotted on a sticker stuck to the front of Time Out towers this morning was a URL written in a Time Out font: YourTimeIsUp.co.uk [whois]. If you go to the address, you see the logo again - written in almost exactly the same style as the adverts that were circulated for the timeout.com/shopping site. And then - a couple of moments later - you get redirected through to one of Time Out's direct competitors: LondonTribe.com. Good prank or legal disaster? Only you can decide...
