Funny Read of Friendster

Email This Entry

Posted by Clay Shirky

Funny pair of posts about the unintentional messages people send in their Friendster bios and more importantly, their Friendster photos.
About every five minutes you’re on this site you’ll find yourself thinking, “Who the hell is friends with these freaks?” And that, in a nutshell, is the beauty of Friendster. Because the answer is always, “MY friends.”
