Browser: Anti-Social Networking

You have zero friends. But on these sites, who needs ‘em? These spots are perfect if you’re ticked at Facebook or just mad at the entire World Wide Intertron.

You’re on notice, buddy: Honesty is the key word on anti-social networking sites. In an NPR interview, Snubster creator Bryant Choung lashed out at the “warchests” of friends people pile up on Friendster, Facebook and MySpace. On his site, people are just honesty pissed off. You can list things that are bothering you on your “On Notice” list, and if they don’t clean up their acts, move them over to the “Dead To Me” file. snubster.com

I hate that this is funny: “I hate people in my class” … “I sincerely hate how I only recently found out that pickles are just cucumbers.” … “I hate that she’s still in my bed and won’t leave.” This could be you! At Hatebook, it’s OK to rant. In fact, saying you like anything is not really allowed. Unless you get crafty and say something like “I hate that I have to read Drift Magazine without my pants on.”

But it’s scary out there: Have a friend who is hopelessly addicted to their Second Life? E-mail them this little guy: Get A First Life. It will be hard for them to understand the site’s crazy message of not sitting around in the dark on a computer 24/7, but hopefully they will see the light – literally. After all, this site is just trying to help your friend with questions like: “What’s this body thing, and what do I do with the dangly bits?” getafirstlife.com
