Friends of friends

I thought if I ignored things like Friendster, LinkedIn, and Tribes they would go away, but for some inexplicable reason they are still here. Yesterday Adam Herman made me join Friendster, and so I’ve been spending the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what the point of it is, why it is here, and why I’m trying to add friends to it. Apparently I have something like 3,000 “third-degree” friends. Um, yay? I don’t get it…

I also decided to check back in with Orkut, which Nat made me sign up for, and noticed that it’s basically the same exact thing, only a little faster, and it says that I have more like 300,000 friends. Well, for 297,000 more friends, I’ll go with Orkut! Come on Friendster, give me more friends!
