No matter what will happen with friend connect, facebook and myspace, we will aim to integrate all these services seamlessly into our product. We are also working on read/write APIs for our software. If the big ones don't get it, the small ones just have to push them because we can act way faster ;) We offer a service that lets users build their own social networks and just launched a widget called “Livecommunity” that allows you to take our communities to other sites.

I really don’t care what facebook does. I only care what facebook or another site does for me. If they give me more control then I am happy. Otherwise I migrate when someone else will.

(well, except for when my cousin young Victor drew a penis on my face on Friendster in 2004, but I knew it was him and he went in my cache and got my password, doh) -- but even after having my account restored, i'm STILL not allowed to know what it was i did that was so horrible and a question of national security. thanks marc. i never had much interest in all the “blah blah” of social networks, i just used them. nothing “bad” ever happened to me.
