It’s Actually Cooler To Be Against The Thing That It’s Cool To Be Against

As an obsessive observer of social networking phenomena (it’s like a free anthropology class!) I was amused recently when a bunch of friends proudly “became fans” of Ignoring Application Requests on FaceBook, apparently overlooking the fact that without the revenue from these Apps, the site would inevitably have to place more ads for income. Hey kids, try IgnoreAll instead! Of course that’s just not as cool as saying you’re against something. So if you want to show you’re too cool for FaceBook like other Internet Famous People, why not delete ten friends and get a free Whopper™ with Whopper Sacrifice? If you’re hip to the idea that being too cool for social networking is one of the best ways to expand your friend list, there are lots of other sites out there. Like Isolatr. Let Isolatr’s patented technology help you “Find Where Other People Aren’t”. Or Nemester, “an online community that connects paranoids, egotists, villains, and monomaniacs through networks of competing agendas and incompatable ideologies for bitter conflicts, mutual loathing, or to find their one, true nemesis.” At HateBook.com, users can share things they hate, like old naked men in the gym: “I hate the old naked men in the gym locker rooms. Why must you walk around naked for 20 minutes, its called a towel you use it to cover and dry yourself, please stop air drying your old testicles while you watch sports center, and for love of god DO NOT stretch“. And for some reason no-one’s logged in since November 26th, 2007 over at NOSO, where they offer a unique opportunity to create NO Connections by scheduling NO Events with NO Friends.
