Just trying out a few of the underrated punctuation marks

It's a quasi-social-networking site for teens designed to allow them to 'express their individuality,' yet it screens all content, tells parents their kids have joined and forbids users to e-mail one another. Oh, and it calls users 'hubsters' -- a twist on hipsters that proves just how painfully uncool it is to try to be cool.

My prediction:

THIS WILL BE HUGE!

Man that's lame. About time to divest of my 75 shares after reading that. The Wal-Mart myspace might be cool to the Brady Bunch kids but that's about it.

That's probably more than all the guys on SF.com spend on clothes combined!



Except for SicEm.

Well, normally just $15, but he's got to have all the accessories. The orange wristband is $20, the orange sun hat is $10 (a bargain!) and the orange platforms are at least $80.

Well, I guess that's only $125. Sorry SicEm. :D
