Ihateher.com VS dontdatethisguygirl.com

The oldest battle in the world gets tech update...but I tend to think its for the worse.

There now web sites (see WSJ WE edition) allow yourself to tell everyhting you think about your ex date. Of course, its everything bad...:

On the front page of dontdatethisguygirl.com, you have a picture of a guy, his name and a link to the full comment:

"name of the guy"...he's no good. He's a follower and a loser. Ladies, don't waste your time on this boy. For clearer pics of him go on his website and click "Slideshow" @ www.bfssound3.com (A girl in pink is sitting on his lap)

It feels good to talk or write about a frustrating relationship, sure. Friends are helpful there. But the Web is a really powerful media and one way blogs do not offer a chance for answering, testing good against bad faith or even rehabilitating.

I think it's a good illustration of the limits of web 2.0. a-the level of posts on those blogs is a bit scary. It does not fly high
b-it opens legal issues and does not offer any solution. There's been a couple of suits filed against the site and bloggers already. ..
