Social Networking

After Friendster and Orkut, I had pretty much had enough of social networking sites and vowed never to join Myspace and Facebook. But there's this awesome new one I'm tempted to try: Hatebook. Finally, petty teenage girls have a worldwide outlet to announce who this week is no longer their bestest friend EVAR.

You forgot a w in the Hatebook link.
And what is it exactly? I don't understand the concept. You befriend the people you hate?

thanks, fixed it.

As for what it is, I stumbled upon it while looking for a French newspaper article to do an assignment on. As best I could understand the French, the site is to find people with similar hates as you, instead of similar interests. So you can find people that hate that guy in geology class, or hate a professor, or hate the president of Guyana. The collective hate binds people better than collective interests.

You think that collective hate binds people better than collective interests? I guess, like most things, it depends. Some things unite as interests, others as hate. I thought interests worked better, but then I thought about being anti-Bush, or anti-discrimination

oh, that wasn't my opinion. I was just repeating the French article and/or makers of the site.
