Joi hits Orkut's wall

Email This Entry

Posted by David Weinberger

On Saturday Joi bumped up against Orkut’s limitation on how many friends you are allowed to have: 1,000.

Darn, and I was so close! I really thought I could make enough new friends by the end of the holidays to catch up to Joi.

(Anyone have any suggestions for what to do with 992 boxed, lo-carb fruitcakes?)

Of course they aren't friends in any useful sense of the term. Read Joi's post.

Joi and I, however,are actual friends, so I no longer need to suck up to him. But thanks for the imputation of base motives. You can't go wrong with that.
