I’m Just Sharing

Not sure if the Geico commercials are all across the country, but they’re definitely here in New York. I have to admit that I believe the people who came up with the concepts of the gecko and the cavemen weren’t paid nearly enough. I’ve enjoyed the gecko from the first time I saw him, and then when they brought out the cavemen, I’ve watched with rapt attention every step of the way.

However, the cavemen have something the gecko doesn’t; that would be a website geared towards how they live their life amongst the rest of us. And it, also, is one of the most entertaining and creative things I’ve seen in a long time.

When they first started it, they were using it to promote an upcoming party the cavemen were about to have. Now they have about five different scenarios set up, including the latest thing that’s also been in the commercials, the different dances the cavemen can do.

It’s all interactive; you go to the site, Caveman’s Crib, then decide among one of the five choices it gives you below the flash image, though you can also move around the image and find things to click on there. Then you go into their environment, their apartment or other places, and you find things to click on where you can look at their life. You also get to move around their surroundings if you can figure things out. There’s a lot to see, and every once in awhile one of the cavemen will pop up and either give you an update on something, or chastise you for being a bit too personal (being in the bathroom while the caveman is taking a shower was weird; at least he doesn’t come out).

Overall, it’s just a lot of fun. If you’ve heard of them, you’ll enjoy yourself; even if you haven’t heard of them, I think you’ll enjoy yourself also. Check it out.
