I don't know whether I should cheer for myself for hitting 3 million, or feel sorry for myself for engaging on this futile endeavour in the first place... God what a waste of time and energy.

danah boyd asked me to check how many friendsters gave their (underage) ages reversed: "61" (16) and "71" (17). The answer: surprisingly few (I bet most of them just lie and say they're 18): 61: only 821 out of a total of 2,809,843 71: just 665 out of 2,836,990 (I did the samples at different times whenever Gallery stayed up long enough to give a result :-)

Article in yesterday's Wired News:Social Nets Not Making Friends: "Perhaps it was inevitable.

I just about fell out of my chair... the Gallery feature in Friendster was actually working! So I quickly ran a few queries. Out of a sample size of 2,748,806 friendsters: 232,461 were age 18 239,355 were age 19 197,396 were age 20 194,661 were age 21 186,225 were age 22 after which the Gallery feature was again unavailable.... but it looks like 38% of all friendsters are aged 18 to 22.

(Friendster still not calculating network sizes or allowing links to friends-of-freinds.... *(sigh*) Sign of the times: I'm seeing a *LOT* more of this on friendster... Most disgruntled friendsters seem to be going to one of two places: myspace.com or tribe.net. I have an account on myspace.com (actually started up the MySpace Anonymous Group LOL), but I just find myspace to be a little

(no network totals; Friendster is still acting up) Most of you already are familiar with the concept of Fakesters, and the fight between Jonathan Abrams and Co. and the Fakesters (here's a recap). Anyway, I came across this rally-the-fakester-troops post from the Yahoo! group FriendsterRevolution, which is a sort of gathering-place for Fakesters: "Well, I have waited a LONG TIME to make this

In her blog postconnected selves: irritated beyond belief, Danah Boyd triggers a couple of interesting technical responses from the geeks in the audience (in the Comments section, well worth reading to get a sense of the pounding the Friendster servers must be taking...) but I agree with Danah, it's still very annoying.

(no stats for this post; friendster is so overloaded it's not calculating network sizes) My announcement of hitting the 2-million friendster mark has led to an unexpected event (below): Oh dear.

Hey, I did it! I know, I know, what a geeky-dorky and ultimately meaningless accomplishment, but it's an accomplishment nonetheless. (Quick, someone call David Letterman and the Guinness Book of World Records!)Two million friendsters in two months (Sept. 30 - Nov. 30, 2003). That's like meeting 33,300 new people every day for two months. Hmmm, maybe I should consider a career in politics ...

You know, I just realized something: my estimate of the total size of (i.e. number of people in) friendsterspace is too high. What about all the empty spaces where people (fakesters and realsters) have been deleted? So I decided to conduct a highly unscientific study, checking 40 profiles, from friendster ID=200 to ID=4100, going up by hundreds,. Of the 40 profiles checked, only 2 came back

You know, I am becoming seriously disillusioned with Friendster. At least on tribe.net there are opportunities for serious discussions amidst the fun and silliness....but Friendster just feels like one long intolerable cocktail party where everybody is making small talk.
