Google's new social networking program, Google+, is picky about who gets in right now, especially as it's being rolled out. And among the more prominent recent rejectees is Anonymous, the group responsible for several government and business website hacks in recent weeks. Now, Anonymous says it is starting its own social networking site.
"The move comes after Google banned Anonymous’s Google+ account called 'Your Anon News' due to a violation of its community standards," said Mashable.
Anonymous' social networking site will not have anything like the familiar Facebook blue or cheery bird logo of Twitter. Its site is black, with more black, and some gray, and for now shares this message:
Well didnt we grow up fast :) this lil info dump of a site is here simply to dispence (sic) info, soon the actual site will go up and you can begin to interact with it. This project is not overnight and will take many of those out there who simply want a better internet. We will not be stopped by those looking to troll or those willing to stop the spreading of the truth. ... this project is for ALL people not just anonymous, this idea is a presstorm idea and only takes the name anon because of the Anonymity of the social network.
Can't imagine sharing too many "likes" or profile pictures here, although the group also views itself as providing "lulz" (Internet speak for "laughs") as well as doing the serious hacks it undertakes.
