WurkPal is something to gossip about

[TC] New Forum Site To Gossip About Work:

I’m just going to touch on Wurkpal briefly. It’s a very simple forum site that is designed specifically for people to gossip/complain/etc. about their work environment anonymously. The site takes a guess as to where you are logging in from based on a reverse hostname lookup and tries to direct you to the correct company forum. You can also view the directory and go from there.

Is today April 1? How does WurkPal manage to get TechCrunch coverage? It’s a forum that atempts to determine where you work based on your IP address. It’s not a secure connection, so the whole “safely chat about your company’s rumors/news” line is a bit bogus. If you are at home, you’re out of luck for sure – the directory link is only found at TechCrunch. Same story if you are trying to access it through an anonymous proxy. Thus, you should not be surprised if HR contacts you for posting juicy gossip there.

I hope the angel funding they are referring to are the sandwiches their mom made them.
