"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry..."
I'm friendless.
I went over to Friendster to see what all the hype is about. I signed up, then went looking for everybody, (hell anybody) I know.
I tried to find:
- friends: 0
- family: 0
- fellow bloggers: 1
- clients (past and present): 0
- various heads of state: 0
- Outlook Contact List: 0
- old emails: 0
- spammers: 0
- old schoolmates: 0
- aging pornstars: 0
Out of over 75+ contacts I found one person, one friend for which to "ster" with.
To top that, Friendster makes me ask that person if he/she IS really my friend. What kind of pressure is that putting on this person?
If he/she says "Yes" does that mean we're sharing toothbrushes? Needles?
And if he/she says "No" will that person be able to "let go" when that person reads my obit the next day?
The note left behind will read "DAMN YOU FRIENDSTER! My blood is on your hands!!!".
Will you be my friend?
Circle One:
Yes
No
That shit worked great in the third grade. I don't think it's that simple anymore.
Anyway.
So am I missing something here?
Am I on the blunt side of the cutting edge now?
God forbid too old?
Or is this still a work in progress?
Clue me in PLEASE!
Don't get me wrong I think it's a wonderful idea if you're socially plugged-in which (even though I subscribe to and read Wired Magazine) apparently I am not.
Oh and don't even get me started on the one that requires a freakin' invitation! That's sure to make your Id beg for a double shot of Thorazine.
Will you be my friend?
