chain letters

yeah right! chain letters.. chain email... is that stuff true? why talk about it? coz just before i open my mindsay blog, i opened a mail from a friend in friendster that says if i don't send this mail to my network i'll be deleted by friendster management coz they're community is getting crowded???! yeah right! networking is all about getting crowded right? what's the sense? i even received and opened the likes of that message maybe a zillion times but haven't received any notice from friendster that they'll be deleting me... they'd fooled me once coz i did the hek sometime ago, although the time when i did it, its not the first time that i saw that email... i got curious and said to myself, why not do it... it could be true coz many people are passing such mails. so forwarded it to my network... but after sometime, i started receiving a gazillions of chained letters fron friendster... hello? is such letters gonna be the fate of my life? one letter said that if i don't send this to someone within the next 15 mins, something bad will happen to me or so? hmmm.. i saw this one na ha??? the ring?? hhehehe... so that's it!  i ignored it completely.. the reason why i opened another chain letter is its title says that there's an important announcement from friendster management.. curios of me,, i opened it only to find out that its a chain letter again...

who's idea is this chain letter is from? why did it evolve in many ways... before, someone is sending snail mail with this.... do they think its fun to tell that someone's life will suffer if u don't spread this letter to many people? its like giving out foolishness to others... even had some of this thru text... the hell with it! some people's reasoning goes... "there;s nothing to lose if i go with it" but come to think of it... time and effort is wasted by doing this... don't u realize that?

neways, i promise from now on that i'll not put my fate in the hands of someone else.. especially not from a stupid letter! that's it...

 
 
   
 

Friendster Adds Blogging
Social networking service Friendster has been searching for a way to monetize its 8+ million members while keeping them more active.  Their new effort: blogging.  The company has partnered with another hot Silicon Valley start-up and blogging leader, Typepad, to offer blogs to their members.  ZDNet reports that the company will offer a free version with ads, and pay versions that are similar to the accounts you can get direct from Typepad.

The connection between blogging and so-called social networking has been obvious for a while. The goal of Friendster seems to be matchmaking, and blogs are a much better way to get to know people than static profiles. But blogs - done right - are a social tool in and of themselves. The right approach to add value is to tighly integrate social tools with blogs, to make it easy to find blogs of interest and to keep up with your favorites.
