Meet Snubster, the Anti-Social Networking App
April 05, 06 by kenrichOne of the new “anti-social” networking applications to be launched recently is called Snubster. The functionality at this point is pretty simple. You can build lists of people and things you want to put “on notice” or that are “dead to you”.
There’s nothing on the site where you can indicate your interests and what you like. This site strictly allows you to indicate what you don’t like and share it with others. The site is currently in Beta since it has recently been launched. There aren’t too many users there yet, but with the good press they’ve been receiving, it won’t be long before it becomes a big success.
As for the social part, you can also share this list with your friends. The system will prompt you to enter the e-mail address whenever you reference a person on your list. You can also vote on which list items are the best. This is one of the most minimalistic Web 2.0 applications that we have ever come across.
Although, the anti-social networking application is certainly not a unique idea, this site does seem to have it’s charm. There are some navigation and javascript bugs which seem to be plaguing the site at the moment. With any luck, these bugs will be cleaned up shortly. The interface is nice to work with and even though it’s light on graphics, this doesn’t really affect the experience. All-in-all, a good place to vent your frustrations with the outside world and share common complaints with your friends.
