"What would it be like if Facebook was actually played out in real life?"

(funny stuff)

Grudgebox sounds great — my sister-in-law used to swear by throwing oranges at a metal garage door, when she was angry/frustrated. I need a virtual one of those. But it needs to let go of your data. Facebook won't. I've deleted as much as possible before de-activating my account. You can't delete the damn thing.

Antisocial networking. The part of me that isn't jealous you thought of such a wonderfully quirky idea first, absolutely loves it.

And I spat when I read 'Gonad the Balbearian'. Contented sigh!

I can never find the time for facebook, but then I have virtual "commitment issues". However, I know I would find time for Grudgebox. Oh the joy of hurling virtual invective at some HSE muppet, oh the catharsis of 'poking the bejaysus out of Mary Harney on some cyber wailing wall. Go for it Bock, there's a credit crunch on and the gloves are off, an auspicious time for all glass house dwellers to throw stones! But with my bloody luck they'd boomerang!

The Gurdgebox sounds like a grand idea. There's more than a few that I'd add. :)

@Ardent Jaysus, that's scary!

Ardent — I read it but maybe I was too drunk to understand it.

Nick — Thanks. That's all the encouragement I needed. What about a Middle-Eastern version?

I think if this idea is to work it'll have to be done on a regional basis. It's a cast-iron cert that a Khazak/Uzhbeki version of Grudgebox would work on that level, as would a Greek/Turkish, Russian/Polish, Scottish/English, Cork/Kerry version. And come county final days, you'd need to be able to get local servers in individual parishes. Doable though.

Grudgebox would be a great idea to vent frustration, but it would only be used by the government to collect further data about individuals like Facebook.
