A few weeks ago, a friend of a friend passed away. His friends were completely shocked – he was not ill; he simply fell asleep and did not wake up. In talking with my friend, i was surprised to hear how they reached out to all of his other friends: via Friendster. This man kept a very disparate group of friends, rarely connecting them. Yet, he maintained an active Friendster profile, allowing all of his friends to see each other and connect during this sad time. Not an expected use, but a valuable one.
