			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kvetch.com/">Kvetch</a> is a site that displays &quot;Kvetches,&quot; or funny complaints that are sent to it via Twitter. One &quot;Kvetch&quot; is displayed at a time on the site&#8217;s home page, and you can either give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://kvetch.com/"><img src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/kvetch-screenshot.jpg" alt="Kvetch" title="Kvetch" /></a></center>
<p>&quot;Like most people, you probably have nothing at all to complain about,&quot; <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2008/11/let-it-out.html">writes Twitter Co-founder Biz Stone</a> on the Twitter Blog. &quot;However, if you feel the need to kvetch, why not follow @<a href="http://twitter.com/kvetch">kvetch</a> and direct message your complaints? Theoretically, you&#8217;ll fee better. If you don&#8217;t, then just complain about it.&quot; A more detailed description is available <a href="http://kvetch.com/">on the site</a>:</p>
<p> <i>Click &ldquo;Hit Me!&rdquo; for a new kvetch. If it makes you LOL, click the thumbs-up. If not, click the thumbs-down. Highly rated kvetches will be shown more frequently. To post your own, first </i><a title="Join Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/"><i>join Twitter</i></a><i> and </i><a title="Follow Kvetch on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/kvetch"><i>follow Kvetch</i></a><i>. Then just send a tweet in this format: &ldquo;D Kvetch <i>Your kvetch here!</i>&rdquo; Kvetches are displayed without attribution because we want this to be a safe place to let it out, baby.</i></p>
<p> The site is obviously just a time killer for bored people looking for some pointless amusement. Although, I&#8217;ve heard similar descriptions applied to Twitter itself. Kvetch has been around for about 12 years apparently, but the Twitter-based incarnation is of course much newer, and was created by <a href="http://powazek.com/">Derek Powazek</a>, <a href="http://tinycrumb.com/">Josh Bryant</a>, <a href="http://snook.ca/jonathan/">Jonathan Snook</a>, and <a href="http://tobyjoe.com/">Toby Joe Boudreaux</a>  &quot;just for kicks.&quot;</p>
<p> Kvetch is just an example of one way people are using Twitter beyond business networking&nbsp; and telling people that they are sitting at home in the underwear watching the Matrix Trilogy. It&#8217;s got Biz stone&#8217;s endorsement, so it is likely to gain some popularity among avid Twitterers.</p>
