Man, I knew Friendster was kind of lame, but I had no idea they were capable of really, really dumb things. PHP maven and former work acquaintance Joyce was fired from Friendster for blogging, even though she never dropped any company secrets and simply commented on the popular news around Friendster's switch from java to PHP.

This story about the Joyce Estate telling the Irish government that it will sue if there are "any public readings of Joyce's works during the festival commemorating the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday" is just the latest example of the copyright abuse of the Joyce estate. Australia, you've got twenty more years of this silliness to contend with.

Bloomsday Virus Inflicts James Joyce on Mobile Phone Users
The first ever computer virus that can infect mobile phones has been discovered, anti-virus software developers said today, rendering many phones virtually useless.

The virus was apparently released in time for the 100th anniversary of the eponymous literary holiday. It infects the Symbian operating system that is used in several makes of mobiles, notably the Nokia brand, and propagates through the new bluetooth wireless technology that is in several new mobile phones.

I've quit. I don't ever use it. I don't have a pressing need to be registered at a site for daters and people with "open" marriages. I wasn't impressed with the CEO throwing Friendster condoms into the audience after giving a talk. I have a problem with the site's disrespect for the implicit. And then Friendster fired an employee for blogging. Click here to go to the cancellation form, if you're so inclined. (Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for the cancellation link.

Esther Dyson, queen of comedy.

I know I know - it is like poking a rattle snake with your foot. But I am feeling feisty this morning. Now that Esther Dyson doesn’t really have anything to say about anything (smart guy in her company is doing his own thing), she has decided that comedy is the next big thing.

Dyson got the biggest laugh by suggesting a business model for Sunnyvale-based Friendster, the popular social networking service and a company that has yet to collect any revenue from its users. Populated by lonely singles looking to line up dates, Friendster should start a personal gift registry, Dyson said. The bottom line would be: “If you want to date me, this is what you’ve got to buy me.” (San Jose Mercury News)

Yup, that’s a new business model, so new that every generation has been doing the same since Adam and …

The new Friendster

The new Friendster 02/05/2005 09:12 PM

I've been waiting a whiele to see what happens with the new Friendster. So far - not much. But they do send this nifty little newsletter nowadays - which has the status of some of my friends in it.

What intrigues me about this - is how did they know which friends to tell me about? Those who have updated recently? Those who are 'important' in the blogosphere - or what?

The reason I'm curious is that if you look at these peeps below - you'll notice nobody less than danah boyd, Xeni Jardin, Tyler Ziemann, Justin Hall and Scott Rafer.

Not a bad selection of peeps. So I'd say there's something going on here - something that's determining who is 'important' in my life - or something like that. Cause Julia Lolita is not known in the blogspehere and Noah Glass is kind of but not that much. Julia is an all-star in the SF/BM/LaLa party scene and Noah used to live with me as a roomate.

Julia's company "Blood & Butter" productions has put on some of the best parties ever - some of them at my house (with Noah particiapting I may add.) So how did Friendster know how important Julia is to me? Email traffic? And Jason is a friend of Julia's - I barely know him. He's teh one man out in this elite list. Hmmm.

But I don't exchange email with Justin, Xeni or Scott on Friendster? So I'm curious just how this list was determined.

Congrats to Joyce and the front-end team Friendster for pulling off the JSP to PHP migration. Having the front end less tightly coupled with everything else ought to make life a lot easier for some folks there. Now, any bets as to when the "beta" label will come off their logo?...

"Theoretically, everybody who entered 111 Minna and plunked down a $5 cover for the happy-hour party had been e-mailed an invitation from a friend. Of a friend. Of a friend....Four Bay Area women conceived the Date My Friend idea in January by merging their original invite lists of 50 friends each, hoping that their single pals would be put at ease knowing that the guy asking for their number was somehow connected to them in that six-degrees-of-separation fashion."

Bring me my social networking

One day last year, I was sitting in the lobby of a hotel in midtown Manhattan with two friends. It was pouring rain outside, and we were in low-energy mode. We were idly thinking about going to see a movie at the theater across the street, but had no idea what was playing or when. Our next best plan was to go somewhere for a drink before dinner -- but again, no one had any good ideas about where. I also needed to check my email to catch up on tentative plans with an acquaintance further uptown -- a guy I knew well enough to exchange email with, but not well enough to have his phone number -- but I didn't have a computer or network access closer than my friends' room upstairs. And of course I was sitting there thinking, "Dammit! It's 2003, and the Interweb still sucks!"

That's what social networking should be, and unfortunately still isn't. In the long run, I don't actually give a rat's ass what my friends' favorite TV shows are -- because I never watch TV with them. Social networking has to be useful and able to solve real problems, not just be a cute (or pornographic) time-waster.

Of my interactions with social networking, the most positive ones so far have been (excluding blogs):

1) Career contacts via LinkedIn. These have been almost all of high quality, and save significant time for both me and the hiring manager. Not that I'm looking for a job right now, but it's always nice to know what's out there; and the introduction aspect is very valuable for this use-case.

2) Being able to route new contacts through Friendster. I love being able to say "Send me a Friendster message" to people I meet through the blogosphere or conferences, instead of having to give out my real email address or IM nick or phone number on the public Internet. And did you know you can now block Friendster messages from undesirable acquaintances?

3) Finding out via an Orkut group that one of my friends had quit his job. He was so busy he didn't bother to let me know his lame self via phone, email, blog, or carrier pigeon.

Given how much time I spent on social software, that's a pretty disappointing payoff. Unfortunately, I don't just get to bitch about it... I'm supposed to be making things better. So help me out here: what social experiences could be usefully intermediated by a service like Friendster, but aren't yet?

[troutgirl]

So that sure soudn sliek she's lookign for input on future features for Friendster. Right on!

Maybe the 'new' Friendster will not only support FOAF, OpenMedia, OpenEvents AND OpenReviews - but also lead us into an inter=-op world where our messages can freely flow from one system to another.

We called that ThreadsML last year.

It shows a Friendster facewall of Friendster members - all about to what? Participate in a TV show.

If so - this is too bizarre to believe.

Here's the link - you tell me what's up? Yet another hoax?

It's actually getting kind of fun in the hoax world.
