Bragster Breathes Life Back into Triple-Dog Dare

Hey, look. More lavish venture funding for exhibitionist games of jackass.

Bragster, a one-year old social networking site, sets people on daring sprees. Dare someone to do something, they accept and upload proof, and everyone has a giggle.

Dares are either accepted or spurned, and limits are set to meet the grade.

Especially wretched dares included “I will pour 2 mugs of boiling hot coffee on my laptop” (which is what you see at left) and “I dare rileyyy to slap someone around the face with a fish in a supermarket.”

This just won $3.5 million in its Series A. Guess who led the round? Intel.

What the fuck.
