Freiheit: anti-social is not the same as 'shy' or 'reclusive'.

Anyway I tried Friendster, and it never elicited a 'holy-shit', so I doubt Orkut will either. Honestly, in the age of 'your weblog is your resume' and 'your weblog is your social web', I'm surprised that there are now three 'social software' systems out there.

The links Friendster provides are silly. Because I know someone who knows someone who is gay (which I happen to know him too) every other person in my Friendster list is gay. So much for finding a relationship there, WHAT WITH THE NOT BEING GAY.

It makes me wish you could control what you consider a friend based on some sort of reputation system. Maybe something like the 'web of trust' model used in PGP/GPG?
