But Jordan Cooper, a venture partner at Lerer Ventures, recently offered funding and office space to anyone interested in working on an app he mostly wants for himself: a private social network where people can dish on their love lives. ”I want to be able to send a photo of a girl that I really like or one that I just went out with for the first time. I want to tell a story beneath the photo, or just a short note that says ‘so pretty, but soooo boring’ or whatever captures my impressions of this temporal but potentially permanent new entrant into my life,” he wrote last month in a blog post, titled “Whitespace for the taking.” He signed off, “Holler.”

Isn't this called Tumblr?

No, he is specifically looking to create a social network for Douchbags.

FaceDouche.com

The examples of "dishing" above seem innocuous enough in print - but the reality of such an 'app' would be far more harsh.

"This dumb slut let me blah blah blah to her!" and other douchebaggery...

probably the idea originator has already been down this rabbit hole, for better or worse douchebaggery is a coveted ad demo. bling.
