Anti-Social Networking Site
Hello.
My name is Dane and I’m an anti-social.
If someone were to ask me if I would rather go out to dinner with people I get along with or stay home and play Xbox. I would choose Xbox.
If someone were to ask me if I would rather go out to dinner with people I get along with or stay home and stare at the wall. I would choose the wall. No contest.
Oh yeah, I'm also a bit of a geek. (apparently)
For years, in fact I would be so bold even to say, since the beginning of time the labels “anti-social” and geek were interchangeable, they were like fat people and sugar, they were lke midgets and step ladders and they were like Managers and brown lips.
In short they were a couple that when seen together, they made the rest of the universe breathe a sigh of relief. There was order. There was peace.
Then in 1969 some
It is not enough any more to avoid people in real life but, now I must avoid them in "virtual" life.
The worst part is that if you say you don’t use social networking, people naturally assume that you’re lying and just don’t want to play Scrabulus with them.
If it isn’t already painfully clear. I do not have a
Social Networking profile. Nor do I plan on acquiring one.On a side note, I know people who have them and they even update the “mood” indicator. Who the hell came up with that idea anyway? And do we really think that the mood on the “mood indicator” actually represents the mood of the narcissistic loser we are reading about?
No.
Because if the narcissistic loser you are reading about is the same as the narcissistic loser I’m reading about they only report the mood they want you to see. They WANT you to ask them why they're angry, they WANT you to ask them to cheer up, they WANT your attention.
And most of all, I believe, they WANT me to troll their site and tell everyone I know to laugh at their emo pictures that they place in PUBLIC FOLDERS.
To repeat an earlier point I am not a member of a SN site.
Then agin what is going to stop me from creating one? One for my type of person! A community site that I can finally feel I belong to.
Ladies and Gentlemen I present:
That's right everybody, finally a place to hide from everybody!
Avoid your co-workers, avoid your parents and most of all avoid the propagators of "attitudism"!
The site is revolutionary in the way that it allows the user to create a profile, customise it to their hearts content and when they publish their profile the address is kept hidden - even from them!
This allows them to avoid any uncomfortable situations!
For example:
Boss: Hey valued employee! I want to show you pictures of my incredibly hot girlfriend! you should add me as a friend on Facebook!Employee #100567: Oh, I'm not on Facebook, I'm on YOURabyss!
Boss: Really? What is your profile name?Employee #100567: You know what? I honestly have no idea!
Boss: Damn! What ever happened to usability testing?
Each YOURabyss profile has a friends list - with a twist!
For example you can add people you want to block, and it appears in an awesome list:
And when you click "Add a Friend" you get a friendly reminder:
Of course it's just in alpha at the moment, but I'm excited as to what this can become!
I'm not expecting a horde of comments here, as I am well aware any future members prefer to lurk than actually communicate - but hold on! Salvation is coming!
