If imitation is flattery ..

For those who have not seen this http://ipaidabribe.com/ , it is worth a peek. It is a web-site run up by an Indian non-profit to combat graft. It is a place where people can vent their anger, read other's stories of fleecing and organize with fellow citizens.

Lately, it has received some publicity in both the national and international press. Now, the web-site has a raft of imitators. One of the sites is apparently named "I made a bribe".

It is unclear if the Indian web-site has caused any change in behavior of those in power. And it is difficult to know if some of the international web-sites would be allowed to flourish. But the idea is certainly causing people to pay attention.
