Hatebook is a social networking site for suckers
Tim Finin, 9:35pm 15 October 2007
Hatebook is an “anti-social utility that connects you with the people YOU HATE.” Unique among social networking sites, you can use it to “upload blackmail material or publish lies, get the latest gossip from your enemies and friends • post photos and videos on your hate profile • tag your friends • … get hate points from disturbing people who live, study, or work around you …”. Hatebook has nothing but disdain for its own users, which are it addresses as “suckers”.
It’s a fairly intricate parody of Facebook and other social networking sites, but one you are likely to find amusing, if at all, for only a few hours. Unless, of course, you are seriously angry and hateful, in which case you might find Hatebook to annoying to tolerate. (link)

Clay pointed us toward Enemybook, “a Facebook app that allows you to manage your enemies as well as your friends.”. Thanks Clay.
