Most annoying woman in the word launches her a social network

RomanNose · 20 Jun 2012 at 17:47

Conservative MP Louise Mensch has launched a microblogging site to rival Twitter.

Ms Mensch is a prolific Twitter user with almost 60,000 followers but said she has grown "frustrated" with it.

Her new site - Menshn - aims to keep conversations on topic and allows 180 character posts - 40 more than Twitter.

The site, jointly owned by ex-Labour digital adviser Luke Bozier, is only available in the US but aims to launch in the UK before the London Olympics.

But even more funny is that if you spell her name correctly you get to go to this site.

The real site is
http://menshn.com/nonus/
And what I don't understand that it's supposed to be about politics, you can't write anything meaningful with only 240 characters!

Edit: Sorry about the muck up in the title, I have had a long day

What a total berk. Who the hell is going to use a site called 'Menschn'. Head up her own arse.

Should have called it UberMensch.

She's a chronic attention seeker.

tom_e · 20 Jun 2012 at 17:55

She's the MP for my home town, no wonder they're buggered!

Yep, I remember when she went on Have I got news for you and she looked like a total fool when she was talking about Occupy London.

Yep would be good if a Don edited it out, flipping core 4 revision kills my brain.

I would though.

Louise Mensch insists the new site's name is not a pun on her surname.

Wait... What...?

I'm confused about the trident hippies thing. Edit: Oh I see... Seems she really research her domain before setting all this up. What a berk.

Sorry I meant her name correctly, the name of the site is different than how her surname is spelt. But the trident domain is the correct spelling of her name.

I don't know anything about the woman but I think a category specific Twitter style site is an interesting idea.

How do you even say it haha? mench? mensh?

RomanNose · 20 Jun 2012 at 18:19

No I am not, I find it amusing that she thinks having a heavily moderated social network is going to work.
We have problems on here, and we get less than 1k visitors.
She's probably the worst MP that has ever been in power, nearly everything she says is completely ludicrous and attention seeking.
