• description: Social networking web site

  Myfrienemies is a social networking site where anonymous users are connected to others who share dislikes of the same or similar types of people. Rather than create profile pages, visitors to the site can create anonymous lists of personal friend-enemies (frienemies) through detailed descriptions (testimonials) and labels (ex: cheaters, drunks, liars). Other people on the site can offer advice and commiserate with the anonymous testimonioals. If people dislike the same person, they can send personal messages to each other. To avoid inflammatory behavior, the site is programmed so that proper names are never revealed and bullying is disouraged. Myfrienemies aims to foster new friendships that are more similar to the bonds we make in a closed setting such as the office or academic environment; places where groups of disparate people find a common bond in their shared annoyance with a particular colleague.
