Anti-Social Networking

April 5, 2006

Ha. This is fabulous:

The backlash against social networking sites like Myspace and Friendster has begun. Welcome to the antisocial web.

A site called Snubster lets you create a list of people that you don’t want to be friends with [or things you don’t like]. Enter a person’s email address and they’ll get a message to says they are “dead to you”, or “on notice” along with a reason, if you see fit to give them one.

Even better:

…the idea is already being turned inside out as some people are making social connections by browsing each other’s hate lists.

“It has developed into a sort of community atmosphere,” says the guy behind Snubster. “It seems as though people find entertainment and connections in finding other people that hate the same things as them.”
