Anti-Social Networking for people unhappy
// January 16th, 2008 // No Comments » // Social Networks
There are all kinds of social networking sites based on,where people talk about things like. But, What about those who do not like? Do not say things you hate, do not think makes you unique?
Well, is that there are several “Anti-social networks” where we can place on record our samples “virtual contempt” to the people who screwed us in some way or another.
Now turn to be positive,although I know many people want to express in some way,their anger and frustrations. Precisely, I think those complaints do not usually appear in their profiles on MySpace or Facebook. Sites such asSnubster, Ruduzu, yIsolatr are counter-attack against the social networking world where strangers seemlifelong friends, where all great in their photos displayed, and our lists of favorite things, are carefully chosen to impress our girlfriends from high school when the look.
I wanted to explore inside the exciting new world of anti-social networks, so I tried Snubster. The first thing you feel in Snubster is that the concept”friend”, here to there. Instead, Snubster the sole purpose is to point people publicly, or things, list "On Notice" (advised)or “Dead to Me” (not exist). If you choose someone and provide your email address (remains private), Snubster will send an email, haciéndole know it is for Thee, While the list of “Warned” or, in the from “Not exist”. To test the system, añadí a Britney Spears “dead to me” (not exist) y Sting a la de “on notice” (advised).
Snubbing make someone or something, requires a reason, however, was somewhat difficult to provide. In fact, I was not sure I could defend my angry feelings.
As you browse through Snubster, a marquee shows the complaints and pleas of many people, while upgrading many more complaints,constantly at the top of the screen. The complaints range from soft and smooth to very funny. A small sample of complaints that were observed on: Gossip, Internet Explorer, people who make noise when you chew, and on the Web 2.0 (in "do not exist”).Other people rate your snubs on a scale of 1 to 10, and the highest rate of snubs displayed on the top of the Top Ten or favorites. Both Ruduzu, as Snubster, not allow you to be “friend” someone.
But,Ruduzu allows you to have “colleagues”. In this respect, your colleague will never know who is your colleague, but you can allow him or her,who visits your profile. You can create even peer groups. I'm not sure I understand the difference between friend and colleague, but I.
Of the three anti-social networks that I visited, Isolatr only was entirely consistent with the idea of pure anti-social network. In fact, is not likely to win many repeat visits to site due to the very character of the…
You can discuss many things from the lists and the people of these anti-social networks, but I admit that reading about strange complaints is even more boring than reading about their own interests!
Probably, anti-social network is not going to be as popular as social networking. Para la mayoria vast of people averagely balanced, lists of things you usually hate, the son rutin y clichés ("I hate war / Los lunes / Britney.") or are extremely bored ("These pants make me look fat", etc.…).
Sites like Snubster, Ruduzu, Isolatr and produce value as outlet — especially younger people. People who are anti-social by nature, however, simply refuse to subscribe to any network, either social or anti-social.
