An odd collection of blog entries about Friendster (in the process of collecting various notes)
Technovia [2 Jan 2003] – thoughts on the media-centric view of Friendster interests (with lots of good commentary by others)
K-Collector’s RSS feed on Friendster [10 June – 3 July 2003] – Marc Canter/Ross Mayfield’s comments
{ Fire & Ice } [6 June 2003] – self-criticism for posting about Friendster, comments on parodies, articles and FOAF
non-literal [30 May 2003] – discusses what groups of people he sent Friendster invites to, desired shared interest site and references his longer rant about the amount of effort necessary to make these valuable
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.
