Friendster

Dust was collecting on my profile when someone sent me a request on Friendster today. So I logged on to my account for the third time since I had become a member about seven months ago.

And there it was, the equivalence of elementary school bullies chanting "loner loner" in your face, at the lower right-hand corner of the screen..."You have 2 friends."

I felt my heart skip a beat at that instance.

It wasn't until I went to my Nokia and scrolled through the 127 entries in my phone book that I felt reassured again.
