<div>Fellow Friendsters <br/> <br/>Okay...I'm in the midst of a totally lame wager with a friend of mine. <br/> <br/>The winner is the first one of us to hit 500 views on our home page. I know....it's stupid. Anyway, if you are inclined, I need help in kicking his ass. He is 200 views ahead of me. <br/> <br/>Anyone interested in letting him have it and insuring my victory can do me the huge favor of a few hits. I would be much appreciative. <br/> <br/>Thanks folks, <br/>Emily </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://friendster.tribe.net">Friendster</a> - 21 replies </div>

<div>Well, the game is now done. <br/> <br/>Friendster has finally changed the way it presents the personal network counts. <br/> <br/>Yesterday, the message was in the by-now-familiar style: <br/>"You are connected to 3,481,382 people in your Personal Network, through 361 friends." <br/> <br/>And today, the message is: <br/>"You have 362 1st degree friends, 31,737 2nd degree friends, and 883,358 3rd degree friends in your Personal Network." <br/> <br/>I'm (gracefully) taking this as a good time to retire from friendster-whoring. What fun is the collecting when you don't get a 4th degree count??? <br/> <br/>3.4 million friendsters...well, it was &amp;lt;i>great&amp;lt;/i> timewaster, but it's over.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://friendster.tribe.net">Friendster</a> - 11 replies </div>

<div>...pretty much sucks to me. It's supposed to be an open network, but people are now given the option of closing off their profiles and making them accessible only to people in their personal networks. How the frig do you meet anyone that way? But people are apparently choosing that option. And the search functionality has been scaled down as well. The new Friendster? It sure ain't better.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://friendster.tribe.net">Friendster</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>Hey, I did it! I know, I know, what a geeky, pathetic, dorky and ultimately meaningless accomplishment, but it's an ccomplishment <br/>nonetheless. (Quick, someone call David Letterman and the Guinness Book of World Records!) <br/> <br/>Zero to Two million friendsters in only two months (Sept. 30 - Nov. 30, 2003). That's like meeting and greeting 33,300 new people every day for two months. Hmmm, maybe I should consider a career in politics ... or selling Avon, hee hee hee... <br/> <br/>Anyways, from this point on, I'm just gonna sit back, and let this gremlin grow on its own as people ask to be added (and perhaps, add a couple links myself from time to time). <br/> <br/>And now I have favour to ask all of you, please: I'm going to ask all of you who ARE now in my personal network to make links with each other, so that if my profile is ever deleted, you can still enjoy a much-expanded network to wander through and explore... <br/> <br/>And if you do want to join, you can find me at email address ryanwinnipeg@yahoo.ca. <br/> <br/>So get out there... wander around and read the profiles, and marvel at the diversity of human life and human imagination.

<div>You welcomed me into your bed with open arms. Your soft grey lines, your understated fashion, so chic, so ultra PoMo, so trendy minimalism meets sprockets. And so submissive. I'd click your buttons and you'd show me things I'd never dreamed. You'd invite people into our relationship. You were never jealous. The more the merrier. And those you invited were always beautiful. We had luminous ego sex that would melt your face off. <br/> <br/>But then one day you started inviting less savory types into our love nest. Midtown finance managers. Grocery store managers. Accountants. Our harem, once a bastion of self gratification and masturbatory egoism, turned into a den of monotonous drivel. And the more fucktards you invited, the fatter and slower you became. You trollop. No longer responsive to my tender entreaties, you had other suitors to please with your largess. I didn't need that many people in our bed, Friendster. No man needs a network of 500,000 lovers. <br/> <br/>And then one day I called you up, and you ignored me. No answering machine, just a 404 error. What the hell does 404 mean, Friendster? Is that some secret code you share with your other fuck buddies? <br/> <br/>Well Friendster, I've had it. You hussy, you strumpet, you slow-witted jezebel, goodbye.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://friendster.tribe.net">Friendster</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Well I don't know about you, but I have not had much luck getting people to join Friendster. It really bugs me cause I have a lot of people I chat to on MSN &amp; Yahoo Messengers (as well as the video chat programs I use) and I have a lot of people in my contacts list for my e-mail... <br/> <br/>But I didn't get that many people to respond to the invitation e-mail...I think most of them thought it was spam before they even bothered to read it. <br/> <br/>So if you would like to add me or let me add you, either give you your e-mail address or send me an invite to: captquirk@shaw.ca <br/> <br/>thanks muchly!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://friendster.tribe.net">Friendster</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Friendster: A little cash goes a long way? <br/>By Paul Festa <br/>Staff Writer, CNET News.com <br/>September 3, 2003, 3:29 PM PT <br/>http://news.com.com/2100-1026-5071021.html <br/> <br/>With a million members and counting, servers for six-month-old Web site Friendster are staggering under demand. Copycat competitors to the site are cropping up, and rumors of imminent subscription fees are riling members. <br/>In the thick of the frenzied attention being paid to the personal networking site, its founder and chief executive, Jonathan Abrams, is manning the phones, answering press calls. <br/> <br/>"We have no marketing department," Abrams explained in an interview. "We have no press firm. I'm doing everything." The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company has fewer than 10 employees. <br/> <br/>Abrams may be able to fill out his staff thanks to an angel investment, announced Tuesday, amounting to just more than $1 million. The investors include former Yahoo Chief Executive Tim Koogle, who will join the Friendster board of directors; former PayPal Chief Executive Peter Thiel; and former Amazon.com and Netscape Communications executive Ram Shriram. <br/> <br/>The new funds will go mostly into site infrastructure, Abrams said, including more servers and switches to improve response time on the now-sluggish network. In addition, the site is planning to debut new features, including an instant-messaging application. <br/> <br/>Friendster, still in its test, or beta, phase, has grown to its current size by creating permission-based individual networks of friends and acquaintances through which members can trade messages, view each other's home pages and write testimonials. While many use the site for dating purposes, Friendster has gained and promoted a following of people already in romantic relationships as well. <br/> <br/>Friendster's trio of new investors lauded the site, placing it in the context of prior Internet successes. <br/> <br/>"Just when everyone thought that all of the large opportunities on the Internet had already been tapped, along come rule-changing companies like Friendster," Koogle said in a statement. "The opportunity that lies ahead of the company is huge and global, and I am thrilled to be involved." <br/> <br/>One industry analyst said Friendster could have the potential to grow like previous Internet successes--but for consumers, the novelty has worn off even for the most successful of these. <br/> <br/>"One benefit of this model is the 'eBayity' of them," said Ross Rubin, an analyst with eMarketer. "It's low overhead. The category is also rife with opportunities for Web services to create a kind of personal portal. And they haven't really tied into the whole blogging craze yet. It's a good match. <br/> <br/>"But for most people, I think they can run out of steam. eBay, for example--I know people who went through an eBay addiction phase, but then it became just another channel for hard-to-find goods. On Friendster, there will be the curious rush. But then what do you use it for, unless you have copious idle time?" <br/> <br/>Friendster, which last week added Napster co-founder Sean Parker to its advisory board, has generated considerable buzz. The site has expanded quickly through so-called viral marketing, as current members actively solicit nonmembers to sign up and join their network. The site has spawned a slew of knockoffs and parodies, though it is not without genuine competition or precedents of its own. <br/> <br/>Ryze, for example, offers a network of contacts--but with a corporate focus. While its basic service is free, it has made the leap to paid subscriptions for premium services. <br/> <br/>Emode, another potential competitor, recently introduced a preview of its Friendster-like Emode Friend Network. <br/> <br/>Abrams warned Friendster copycats that he has a patent pending on the service and singled out Emode as one site that would be vulnerable to a patent claim, should Friendster's be granted. <br/> <br/>Emode countered that it had patents of its own pending for parts of its friend network system but declined to say which parts or to comment otherwise on Friendster's pending patent. <br/> <br/>But Abrams said his primary competitive concerns are less about start-ups than about established Internet giants such as Yahoo and USA Interactive--though neither has announced or previewed a Friendster-like service. <br/> <br/>"Those are the two companies we think are real competitors, as we try to build the next huge Internet destination," Abrams said. "They are potentially really formidable competitors, because they are strong companies that are in the areas that we are currently in and intending to move into. And no matter what they do, whether that's copying Friendster or doing what they're doing now, they have considerable resources." <br/> <br/>Before the investment announcement, Friendster had collected what Abrams described as a smaller, six-figure amount of funding from angel investors. <br/> <br/>Abrams refused to set a date for when the site will emerge from its beta phase or when it will introduce paid services. But he did promise that people will always be able to use some version of the service free of charge. <br/> <br/>"The first thing--the most important thing--is that basic membership will always be free," he said. "At some point in time, we will have some subscription component for some set of features or premium service. But those rumors flying around the Internet--that in two days Friendster will start charging--those two days keep passing, and it's obviously not true. People will never have to pay to sign up." <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Related News <br/>Yahoo's Koogle leaving board April 15, 2003 <br/>http://news.com.com/2100-1024-997046.html <br/> <br/>Get this story's "Big Picture" <br/>http://news.com.com/2104-1026-5071021.html <br/> <br/> <br/>Copyright ©1995-2003 CNET Networks, Inc.
