friendster in the news

I used to be good about posting news articles about Friendster, but i’ve been dreadful lately, mostly because very few say something new. –sigh–

Of course, CNews seems to have a small obsession, fueled by the spread of rumors. Ah, yes, the power of gossip to keep anyone in the public eye. It’s kinda a funny twist on social networking, no? Gossip keeps friends connected; rumors keeps individuals connected with the press. Maybe “press” should be a Fakester….

[Oh, if you have articles that i should post here, either add them to the comments or send them my way.]
