If you think Facebook's gotten a little too big and you miss the intimacy of a smaller social network, maybe give North Korea's version a try.
Go to starcon.net.kp and you'll find a very familiar looking website. It's called "Best Korea's Social Network" and the homepage has a thin blue banner at the top with a search field for "people, #hashtags, !groups."
After you register for an account, you can upload a cover photo and profile picture, find friends and message them, post a status message and scroll through a News Feed.
Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Dyn, stumbled upon the site on Friday.

Wow—what an innovative way to identify enemies of the State!
Of course, I half suspect that goes for the US too.

I would never use an anti-American social network.
But then, how could this network be more anti-American than Facebook?
