    And here’s an example of true social networking. As well as the posting above (from technovia) I also posted a brief thing when I first found it (at http://www.ludicrous.org.uk/mt/archives/000250.html). This has, for some crazy reason, become the number two item when you search on Google for Friendster – and the top destination for users of Friendster when the service is down. My single little posting has become a kind of forum for people about Friendster.
    Social software in action.
