 - Facebook introduces anti-social networking - Telegraph
 Sep 29, 1:15pm  (1 review) internet, social-networking, facebook http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jht...- This is bloody marvelous.. and rather funny: A new 'Anti-Social Networking' application has been developed for the social networking website Facebook, so that users can insult their contacts, and subsequently lose them.
Features of the application include Insult-a-friend or Doodle-on-a-friend which allows you to deface a friend's profile picture and send it back to them. As well as cheating at scrabble you can send a notification to a contact to let them know you're thinking of removing them with the application 'People You May Know (But Don't Really Like)'.
It was developed on behalf of Paramount Pictures International to accompany their new film How To Lose Friends and Alienate People.
