Truemors.com Launched - Your Thoughts?

I was reading MarketingVox (which by the way is one of my favorite websites) and saw that Guy Kawasaki has launched a new social/viral/”place Web 2.5 word here” website called Truemors. The site harbors your rumors. It’s kinda cool, kinda “why”. I mean really, how much validity does one post have over another? Yes, I know it has the down/up arrow to combat that, but even so - “Hey Frank/Sara/Dan/Delana/Michelle/Harrison…could you please give a little boost to my recent Truemor?”.

I do like the fact that no matter where you are, you can email, text message, submit on the site, or even call in your rumor and it will be posted. Another plus to this site is the logging in: You don’t have to.

You can leave comments on each individual Tremor, which is kinda nice, but also opens up the possibility of spamming, even if its on a small scale, which is ok and ultimately can’t be avoided if you want a social-type website.

All-in-all, I like the idea, I just would like a little more clarification on what makes a rumor, a…true…rumor. If there is such a thing.

PS - Everytime I say “Truemors”, I can’t help but think of Tremors, which by the way, was an excellent movie.
