Stupid Social Network | February 17, 2008
There was a bit of a meme going round the Britpack mailing list last week, with people coming up with names for fictional social networks. Below are a few of my favourites, although please be aware that none of them are my idea and several are just plain WRONG! PC people or those with a sensitive disposition, look away now.
- Floundr – social network for struggling fishermen.
- Tickr – photo site for heart surgeons.
- Fuckr – the network for people with Tourette’s Syndrome
- Wankr – the network for porn addicts
- Shittr – social networking for sewage processing workers
- Whoremongr – social networking for pimps
- MyFace – for models
- Losr – for people who don’t know how to socialise in the real world. Oh wait, that’s already been done …
- Grammr – ironically titled social network for grammar pedants
- Kiddyfiddlr – obviously it’s a site aimed at children who happen to play the violin
Feel free to share your own ideas for a great new social networking site.

I am sorry but Kiddyfiddlr - obviously it’s a site aimed at children who happen to play the violin.
Had me laughing, good one Andy.

Mysr - “horde together, save those pennies”
The sad thing is, by the end of the week, no doubt most of those domains will be registered.

“Shittr” was also proposed as a possible name for a site that had geolocations and reviews for public toilets/bathrooms/WCs. This was just before MizPee debuted— we knew it was too good an idea to not happen.
Comment
fingrbangr - for wannabe cowboys.
What’s so wrong with the letter ‘e’?
Comment
What about ‘errr’ for people who don’t know what they are into.
Comment
Figg - For those interested in the tropical fruit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figs

Comment
Tossr - for people who like throwing things, obviously.
Comment
brew’d: for people who like beer. Think cork’d, but with beer.

Looking forward to more Virtual social networks in the future, ones that we can put on goggles and VR gloves.
