Anti-Social

September 26, 2007

A business proposition.

In the light of the recent swathe of “web 2.0″ enabled social networking websites and the absolute garbage to be found on the pages created by their users, I am proposing a new start-up.

Anti-Social (beta)

Anti-Social (beta) is a site where users can create a free account, create a page or pages all about themselves and their friends, include news feeds (RSS, Atom, XML etc), video’s, photographs of themselves showing there arses at parties, godawful midi files, animated .gifs of ponies covered in pink glitter and a psychedelic green and yellow background…

…ALL FOR FREE!

“So what?” - you may ask, this is nothing new…

Here’s the kicker - for a one off nominal fee (TBC) we will completely hide all of your information so no other bugger can find you, poke you, tag your picture or send you a self installing Easter egg widget (application) that spews random web garbage all over your page. No one but yourself will ever see any of your information!

We promise* not to use your information for any purpose at all, we wont give away, sell or otherwise distribute your data without your express permission**

*(fingers crossed!)
**(We might change our minds…)

To receive an invitation to the closed beta, please leave a comment below - we’ll get back to you when we can be arsed.

Anybody wishing to help fund this start up should send cheques to the usual address.

Ever get the feeling you’ve been had?

…Who said that, oh yeah - John Lydon (nee Rotten) in 1970 something with regard to the Sex Pistols making loadsa money out of the recording industry.

Well, they are at it again, the Pistols are due to reform to promote the re-issue of a few singles, they will play at the Brixton Academy in London on 8 November.

Punk was not about anarchy, it was about making as much money as possible in the shortest possible time, they ramped us up, took our cash and legged it. Punk was a con…

it’s a swindle.
