Friendster is amusing. I remember the first time that I found a person that I had connections to through two completely different ways… now I’m finding that as the network of friends becomes more and more complete, such a thing is very commonplace. Six degrees-of-separation loops are nothing to write home about… five may be interesting, and four and three are the interesting ones… (a three degree loop is a friend of a friend who happens to know two different friends… unless the two friends don’t know each other, it’s not that interesting.
I want the weekend to start. This is how bored I am… I should be working, but I can’t keep my mind on PHP right now…
What exactly is friendster??
http://www.friendster.com. It’s a website where you list all your friends, and a personal profile. You can then look at the profiles of people who are, at most, three degrees away from you (friends of the friends of your friends). It can also be used as a dating service (“ask to be introduced to this person”, etc.).
