7/15    Anyone else think Twitter is incredibly stupid and that people over
        age 40 who use it, Facebook, and who text message incessantly (versus
        a, I dunno, phone call - hate calling someone and getting a text
        back) are trying to recapture lost youth and seem hip in some way?
        My sister-in-law does all of the above, even going so far as to
        text her kid while she is away. I asked if she has called. She

8/29    So after changing a few pics on friendster, I got 2 emails from two
        different women. One works at Coca Cola down in Africa, and the
        other one with a generic hello, eager for a reply from me. I didn't
        post anything spectacular or anything and I'm suspecting that this
        is a spam attempt. Has anyone gotten a similar response after
        changing pics or specs? Thanks.

8/30    Do you guys have good ideas on increasing the readership and
        the participation on motd? With fierce competition from newsgroups,
        Yahoo groups, friendster & orkut network, and many other facilities,
        how can we keep our unique 70's style of newsgroup going for

6/30    Google may have stolen the code for orkut:
        http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,64046,00.html
        \_ Sensationalist, and overblown.  He may have written the code while
           working for them.  They may have exclusive rights to the code. And
           perhaps not.

4/28    Why is it that hategroups all gravitate towards ASNs?  are there any
        on orkut too? http://csua.org/u/73p (note his close knit friends)

2/24    A while back someone complained friendster was ass slow.  I just
        got on friendster after a long time, and it appears blazing fast!
        \_ that's because all the pissed off / bored users left. Reminds
           me of the dot com days when we ordered tons of machines to
           scale our web site before the <DEAD>finance.CNN.com<DEAD> announcement, only
           to realize that it was a total waste because of all the pissed
