Guy Kawasaki’s new startup, Truemors, is the most useless thing ever. It’s basically a digg clone that runs on some hacked up Wordpress. The key difference here is that on Truemors the users submit rumors and then the “community” votes it up or down in a manner similar to reddit’s.

First of all, the interface is horrible. It’s just a bunch of random stuff mixed together with a lack of organization, even though there are categories. Second of all, you get bored quick since if something is fake you’re not going to want to read it. But if the rumors are factual then they should be posted on a news site like digg. You can send in your rumors by email, phone, and text message which is pretty cool. Most of the stories are either spam or real news. Turns out rumors aren’t so fun to read about if there’s no proof.
