The Friendster Virus

Its seems like the Friendster virus is spreading rapidly. Friendster is a particularly infectuous meme infecting social networks all over the world as I type. Judging by the extreme slowness of their server(s) it may even be spreading exponentially.

The cynical side of me wonders if its actually the Department of Homeland Security that is running Friendster. They just want to find out which malefeasants know which, and if the yellow-cake road of interconnected friendsters will eventually lead them to the Axis of Evil.

Even if it is not, it is likely that the signal to noise ratio on Friendsters may soon make it useless for any serious use (if there ever was one). I would cite this posting and the testimonials it attracted as typical of the things to come for Friendster users. I'm still trying to work out if someone really wrote this, or if it is a brilliant parody of "totally kewl people-people". Was the juxtaposition of "i am a born-again christian and i'm allergic to corn!" inspired schadenfreude, or are we all doomed to die of the Friendster virus?
