Hyves? HIV'S!

Hyves (aka HIVs aka The Dutch Facebook) is the brainchild of a guy named Geert Wilders. Geert didn't have much friends, so he thought to himself "Why shouldn't I make my own Facebook?".

A few things make HIVs noteworthy:

• Instead of a "Like" button, it has a "Respect" button. This makes the usual arms race for attention common to all social networking sites that little bit more amusing and creepy.
• Hyves has like 8 million users, and there are only 17 million dutch. This means that 45% of all Dutch people are attention whores.
• Hyves is the home of tough guys and underage sluts. And because every Dutchman has a lower IQ then the average fucktard they're very easy to troll. You can give it your best shot without having any worries on your mind, because on HIVs you're banproof. Troll as hard and as much you can, but neither your IP/webmail will be banned, so after having your account deleted, just create a new one.
