I just caught how friendster.com fired an employee for blogging. Apparently, this employee's blogs weren't disparaging but the fact that she was working in California and got cut for this issue demonstrates America's increasing corporate draconian behavior. That's pretty fucked up considering California, especially the Bay Area, tends to be one of the most liberal and pro-employee areas in the world. Personally, I stopped using friendster.com because it was slow and crappy. I mean, no one ever added my profile and there was no language settings. I prefer orkut.com even though it's slow as shit. Really though, I think these friend networking sites or dating sites suck dick. You end up paying a fee or they get trounced by advertising and spammers. Worse than that though, do people really hang out with these people on the sites? The basic tools are simplistic and most people seem to just "add" someone who looks interesting. However, people get snubbed so it doesn't really help facilitate increasing people's chances to meet people they'd like to really meet or date. Besides that, from a development perspective, they're just user's contact info which is slightly better organized than an excel sheet and it's online. There's no tools to really help people meet the ideal person they want. It's more like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, which sounds more egotistical than useful.
