really everyone, thanks for making this place so great. I got bored and finally checked out orkut, and it's really miserable. Everyone is god damned serious (even when they joke it's never light-hearted), and I feel as if there's a general self-conscious paranoia. For that and other mundane reasons, the place is absolutely dead. It's a circus of 500-friend and 800-community-enrolled douches browsing each other's profiles and waiting for the girl of their dreams to materialize in their lap. I've been writing stupid beligerent nonsense in various places just to liven things up, with sub-marginal success. boo. (this ends my executive summary. I hope you found it as boring and serious as I feel orkut it). |

google's social network beta crap. It's like friendster, except supposedly much faster and with some extra bells and whistles (I wouldn't know since I've never used friendster, or seen it in action). it's basically a way to meet people, and I guess lots of people hope for it to be a successful meat market. You sign up people as your friends, join/make communities, post in them, send messages, etc. basically me and a few friends have been abusing random parts of it while bored over the past week. It's invitation only for the beta, and I left my invitation in my inbox for two months since it sounds pretty crap. anyway, |

one of the antics my two friends and I have been engaging is creating nonsensical groups (within which we are the only members) and criticizing eachother for random things. We chase eachother around different communities carrying on a conversation, so anyone not knowing us and all the groups would see random disjoint gibberish in all the places. yes I'm aware of how pitiful that sounds. We only did that twice.. damn the place is dead. what's funny is that regular people have started joining our ridiculous groups, and we keep writing crap in the adjoining forums harassing them, and they never react. It's like a sea of cows or something. |

only if it has to do with a garage.. actually I'm fibbing some. I remember you showing a map with drawing on it a while back, and then the attachment thinger showed me the same map but without the decorations, which I guess you also posted, so eh, I'm talking out of my ass. but yeah I remember the old routes. I'm on the east coast though.. giginger: yeah it's weird, I feel like I'm in a ghost town. For instance I've been writing in the c++ community lately, and it has 1470 people in it (right now; constantly growing), but only a few are communicating with me in the forum, but I can see who is accessing, and it just feels weird posting, having like 3 people reply, and then knowing that thousands are reading it and saying nothing. I'm saying heinous shit to just try to incite signs of life. one of my last topics had 'flamefest' as part of the title (rest of title was belligerent |

elusive's all for it. orkut is pretty shitty privacy-wise. |

an interesting article about orkut and internet-privacy by a Dutch author (Karin Spaink) who's always looking out for privacy-breaches on the net. and it's even in English. |

you know i think youre right, i dont spend much time on this internet thingy, and really, considering the power of communication the internet brings, people are still thier ususal selves. but being able to say something to a person face to face means so much more nowadays, people think they can get away with anything on the internet. i dunno, its a wierd place this world wide web thingy |
