Ask HN:  No such thing as bad publicity?
A new site has become an overnight success at my school recently, called RateBU.com.<p>It's basically a clone of FaceMash from The Social Network, where you vote which BU girl is hotter. The founder, an undergrad here, is getting a bunch of press, mostly negative, with his name mentioned in each article.<p>Is there really no such thing as bad publicity?<p>I considered making a clone myself after seeing the movie, but decided I didn't want to be known as that guy. Was that the right move in the long run?
