Truemors or Falsemors—- The bad side of Truemors (inside out)
Truemors is a Guy Kawasaki’s new startup and it can be compared to other social bookmarking sites like digg,deliciou or reddit but it deals about making rumor just those are true ( truemors ) or false ( falsemors ). I checked their alexa ranking the site was doing quite good since it was launched just few days back.
What made me repel from this site is that it didn’t show up my submitted stories. Its not the only reason the site is repelling . there are other reasons too.
1. The site is loaded with so much of Javascript that when i open it in my firefox the script becomes non responsive
2.The site takes lots of time to load .
3.It keeps refreshing by itself time to time ( this may be good for the new rumors to show up in the front page but that takes my little of bandwidth and again the javascript problem may come.
4.Truemors is built in wordpress with their modification but the truemors site never shows it is based on wordpress.
5.the permalink to each post is not search engine ( as well as user ) friendly
6.the voting system sucks
7.there may be hundred of rumors submitted every minute but how do they censor which to be published
8.the webpage layout is not like a page in web2.0 era
9. My previous Rumor posts are deleted when i try to access them now it gives me a funny error message

The purpose of Truemors is to enable anyone to post “true rumors.†These truemors should inform or entertain people. Anything that we see that doesn’t do this will be deleted.
A simple test is this: Everything you read on Truemors should be something that you would tell your spouse, SO, friends, colleagues, etc, “Did you hear that…?â€
All the posts that are “Guy is clueless,†“â€Test,†“This site is a joke,†etc don’t pass this test. On the other hand, “Did you hear that Seth Godin hates Truemors†does. Hence it stays.
I hope this sheds some light on what I’m doing.

interesting points you make. I did notice that the site was loading slow. I thought maybe it was my connection. I think that it could be great if they get more people participating. thanks for visiting my review too.
