Menshn is a social networking website created by Louise Mensch and Luke Bozier as a topic based rival of Twitter.

Details

In June 2012, Mensch joined forces with former Labour technology expert Luke Bozier to set up a rival to Twitter focusing on politics. The site named Menshn - a reference to "mention" - allows users to select their topic of interest and Mensch hopes to raise venture capital finance. The site was slated by IT industry experts for its lack of security.
