Social networking site? Looks like it's nothing more than a digital drop box. Oh, but there's a message board. How very Web 2.0 of them.

I wonder if they are aware that FOB already launched one of these (friendsorenemies.com).
Well, it was just Pete Wentz. But FOB really is just him.
Oh well. Sounds like a nice idea.

Oh, this has brought The Hold Steady down. Don't do it guys, remove the site! What a crap idea. The only video on it at the moment is amusing though it has to be said.
The new album best be as good as the other two.
Score = 0
Not that bad but I doubt everyone likes sharing videos of themselves. Maybe aggregating recordings of people's messages to the band would be a better idea
