Hatebook: Ventnation Offers Haven to Angry Social Networkers

Ventnation: A Web Service for Naysayers
Apparently there aren't enough outlets online for venting your rage and frustrations. Blogs, forums, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, all of these things are good. But one company though it could better facilitate online anger and created Ventnation, a site completely dedicated to the art of complaining.

Ventnation is a place where people can post rants about whatever it is that's driving them nuts that day -- be it notoriously bad Staten Island traffic, infuriating Chicago baseball teams, or rash Norwegian Peace Prize Committees. Users can enhance their posts with images, video, and links, and have the option to publish their unfiltered fury anonymously or with their name attached. Readers can rate "vents" on a four-point sliding scale from "sucks" to "wow."

Ventnation even gives you a quick way to publish and share posts across various social networks including Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger. (Really, aren't those outlets primarily used for complaining about life's unavoidable and mundane frustrations, anyway.) Guess this really proves that people will take any and every opportunity to bitch about anything to anyone. [From: TechCrunch]
