overlynegative.comoverlynegative.com is a social networking website with a twist. Where most sites provide users the space to describe themselves using superficial lists of favorite things, overlynegative.com instead allows users to do what at least many of my friends and I do best: complain. By carefully categorizing users' rants under specific user-created topics, overlynegative.com provides not only a soapbox, but also a means to easily find people who feel the same way about the same things. In this way, overlynegative.com enables people to form more relevant communities than they could using other, traditional social networking websites. I implemented overlynegative.com from scratch using PHP with an intense focus on security and internationalization. It runs on a dedicated server using Apache and MySQL. |
