Today i wandered into a bookstore between meetings. (Of course, “spare time” and the cute cats are my justification for my small book addiction, but still…) So, at the front desk, the woman working the store is surfing Friendster. Customers keep coming in and noticing what she is doing and getting into conversations with her about Friendster – storytelling style. Not surprisingly, they all talk about how they find old friends there and about how addictive it is. Each new customer asks her to look them up to see how they’re connected. One guy suggests she Friendsters them.

A new form of Friendster dating: public performance of Friendster using for potential dating ice-breaking. Meet someone in RL; see if you’re connected; then ask for a date.
