Introvertster.com - Your Daily Dose of Misanthropy

Hell is other people. For everyone who subscribes to this Satre saying, there’s Introvertster, a snarky play on the Friendster concept and social networking in general. As you well know, introverts are reticent, shy, usually self centered creatures. Introvertster is an online community dedicated precisely to the introvert set. In fact, the idea is non-networking, and being anti-social. Whereas, take your Friendsters, your Facebooks, and what not, and you’ve got 1001 ways of staying in touch, communicating and making friends. Introvertsters don’t want that. Introvertsers aren’t in it for dating, or friend-making, or anything social really, unless it’s with an intelligent person a specified time and place. Introvertster lets you avoid all online contact while still being online. With Introvertster, you can avoid chat invites, make it impossible for friends to chat with you by flooding their internet connections with packets, create lists of fake friends from China, France, or the Air National Guard and generally get back to business as usual without all the making nice.

“Introvertster is an online community that prevents stupid people and friends from harrassing you online.”

Introvertster is certainly funny and provides for good fun. It could also be useful for nicely avoiding people you really don’t want harassing you.

An anti-social online community? How does that even work? Or survive? Is it simply a gag site, or is it actually useful?
