flavor of the month (provided that month is May 2003)
people are still using Friendster? i got a new friend request from someone today, so i guess they must be. shouldn't i shun them just on general principle?

friendster is not a passing fancy, it is a permanent part of your life. until marc invites you to join orkut.

i concur with kfan, as a compulsive profile updater, and certified ego-maniac, i never tire of the thing. i've been invited to join orkut but haven't signed up for fear of having to juggle two social networking tools in addition to two blogs, four mailing lists plus well, that thing i used to call a life. but what i really want to know is...should i join orkut?

i was waiting for shmoo to fight back against jamie's claim that friendster is over. didn't i see a picture of you in a barrel on that site, or was that from before it got lame? aren't blogs so 1993?

the point wasn't that i was never on Friendster, just that it seemed as though it had disappeared from the landscape as it were. blogs are the new pyramid scheme: those that got in early stand to benefit, but to everyone who comes after the law of diminishing returns takes over.
