Re: Interesting take on a social networking site
#2I never thought I'd be flagging my own site.
As happy as I am to find this here, I don't think it's particularly relevant to Hacker News. I figured Adam and I would write something about our reaction to how quickly this site got big - 36 hours and 2800 sign-ups and still escalating - but I dunno if the site itself is particularly hacker-relevant.
One comment, though: it's hard to say just how thrilling it is to see this thing appearing all over the Internet. I'd never have expected this to go so far. For us, this was just an experiment in web design with a snarky theme. Waking up yesterday to see 100 users, or going to PHP class and seeing a hundred new people every 20 minutes while I was working on classwork, was a pretty incredible feeling. I'm glad so many people enjoy it.

You've completely eschewed the conventional norms in the "social networking" scene while still maintaining the core essence of what makes them awesome (especially the "25 things about me" facebook phenomenon); If that isn't relavent to hacker culture, I don't know what is.

#4Very neat. I had fun answering a bunch of questions. Although, I was really hoping for a dating site with a sister site called http://www.notabitch.com/
I think this would make a great addition to a lot of social networking and dating sites. Post a few new random madlibs to users every so often to keep them and their friends interested. Up the stickiness.

I guess. I'd find it more impressive if we'd managed to connect users using a similarly skewered method, but we didn't. (Even if we'd let you connect via similar answers, it would still be following convention.)

It was suggested that we create a series of sites. Notawanker, notacunt, notaspaz... not sure how good that would look on a resume. "Douche" is edgy but not quite offensive; "bitch" crosses some line that "douche" doesn't.

We're old-school: merchandise only, baby!
(We're getting a few artistic friends to make posters, so hopefully we'll have something really worth selling. I also really like the look of the "nad" logo.)

great site -- how many of those 2800 sign-ups filled out the entire profile? I wouldn't be surprised if most of them did!
