Well, I finally gave in and signed up on Friendster. Still not sure why, but I too am a sheep. I'm thinking I should change my profile to "just here to help."

And, overnight, my "personal network" - and presumably those of everyone I know - exploded from what I seem to remember from yesterday as around 500, to 11,600. So, if anyone is actually using it to meet people, you're welcome. Or I'm sorry, depending on how it goes.

Incidentally, for anyone who's curious, that mystery contact is my boss's older son. I spent a while yesterday searching names of pretty much everyone I know or have ever known, especially the ones who aren't Drew-types. More interesting that way. I didn't know if he would acknowledge the connection or not, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.

What on earth is friendster?

It's a networking six-degrees-of-separation type of thing.

It seems to be heavily dating oriented, though, and I'm not impressed.

It's cool, if useless, so I'll send you a link.

Ourika, I told you about this a while ago. You never listen. :P

Was that one of the times where you threw about 20 links at me becuase I said I was bored? I was on some sort of a 6 degrees website in the mid-90s, but I don't remember whatever happened to it.
