It's as if anyone who randomly (or even deliberately) visits somebody's blog or personal web page is a "stalker", just because you don't know them.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, that's how the vast majority of pages are visited.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking" REL="nofollow">social networking</A> sites like Friendster <I>encourage</I> random visits. That's why they give you the ability <A HREF="http://www.friendster.com/gallery.php?statpos=makenewconnections" REL="nofollow">search for members meeting certain criteria.</A><BR/><BR/>With regard to Friendster's recent "makeover", I suspect it's in large part due to competition from other sites (most notably <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/" REL="nofollow">MySpace</A>) who were offering similar services. I like the "new" Friendster. It brought me back. I hadn't been there in years. To me, the original version was kind of dull.<BR/><BR/>MySpace has been offering blogs for as long as I can recall (although I've only been a member for a year or so). I've never cared much for MySpace. I'm there mostly because "everyone" else seems to be.<BR/><BR/>Friendster was wise to partner with TypePad for their blogs. It's based on Movable Type, which is arguably the best blogging tool around.<BR/><BR/>I had toyed with a blog here but I could never quite get it going. It's easier to blog on the MovableType engine than the Blogger engine. Movable Type just has more features including more built in features.<BR/><BR/>Someday when I get around to it I'll probalby publish my own blog with the WordPress blogging tool (also based on movable type). That was one of the reasons I went out and got <A HREF="http://angrykeyboarder.com" REL="nofollow">my own domain name</A>.<BR/><BR/>But I digress...<BR/><BR/>I hope this change to Friendster keeps them around. I frankly think they are superior to MySpace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10846327.post-1128093055260580972005-09-30T08:10:00.000-07:002005-09-30T08:10:00.000-07:00Jenn,Thanks for inviting me into your world!!I hav...Jenn,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for inviting me into your world!!<BR/><BR/>I have a stupid question about this post . . . .
