Is there really a new social network for the tragically apathetic? You might think so if you’ve caught wind of groupmeh.com. Groupmeh started off as a one-liner joke in an internal email thread here at The Barbarian Group on monday morning. I found the joke hysterically funny, and rather than responding with a simple “LOL” reply, instead I bought the domain name and threw up a quick splash page. A few lines of html later, and groupmeh.com was born.

We barbarians really know how to take an idea and get it to catch fire. So a handful of us starting promoting the site on Twitter, BuzzFeed, Hacker News, and other sites. Before long, the link got picked up by Laughing Squid and The Daily What, catapulting the page views into the thousands.

Once I realized there were so many hits, I added the ability for users to sign up for the site’s beta by submitting their email and reason for joining. The responses became really amusing as well, so a second page was created to publish each response.

The site is continuing to spread like wildfire over the web. Who knows, maybe by next week we’ll have an angel investor and a working product.
