Now, you can add a Truemors Facebook App which lets you quickly spread your rumors, gossip, news and links to your friends or all of Facebook.
Earlier this year, Trend Hunter members were invited to preview Truemors, the viral rumor site launched by our good friend Guy Kawasaki. Since the launch, Truemors has really taken off, both in traffic and the quality of content.
At Truemors, you can post pretty much anything via the web, text message, email or even by calling the Truemors hotline. The site describes, "The purpose of Truemors is to democratize information. We made it so that people don't need to be a journalist or even run a web site or blog to 'tell the world.' Think of Truemors as a friction-free news site."
