The Next Big Thing in Social Media (or Find Out Who Your Real Friends Are)

So, I have the next great idea for social media. It’s a site where everyone can post to it except the person who it’s about. It’s like the complete opposite of Facebook where it’s all about you. There will be no bragging about where you went on vacation. There will be no flogging your vampire romance novel. It will be just what other people think of you. And the tag line is “see yourself through our eyes”.

Out on the town and your drunk buddy hurls on his date’s shoes? – post the video on his wall.

Caught your cousin shopping in her jammies at MalWart? – lemme see it.

Saw some inappropriate touching? – make an animated gif.

Because if you put your online media presence in the hands of your “friends”, you’ll find out very quickly who your real friends are.

Also, Facebook you are dead to me.
