My email today included a sad, desperate message from Friendster begging me to take them back. You’ve had your flings with LiveJournal, MySpace, and Facebook, but we’re the ones who really love you baby. They promised your first social network will always have a special place in your heart.

Alas, my black heart is fickle. LiveJournal is so limited, MySpace burns my eyes, and Facebook’s use of people’s personal information feels skeevy. You can’t have me back, Friendster, but I am ready and willing to give my love to a new social network.
