I haven’t used Friendster in a couple months. Tribe.net replaced it for me, and Friendster always was slow and clunky. But it wasn’t until I read this and then this that I was mobilized to actually cancel my account. If you feel inspired to do the same, click here. Just be sure to list “fired an employee for blogging” as your reason.

Are you letting people make comments without that infernal typekey? Yay!
I just have one question. What the fuck does “slashdotting” mean?

First: Ivy, I guess you missed the announcement.
Second: who said anything about slashdotting? Am I missing something?

“Slashdotted” was used by troutgirl in the entry you cited. Glad to see a definition, I was wondering too!

Aha, thanks Greta. Now I feel stupid.

Yeah, well, that makes two of us, Ariel. Trying to post a comment that includes HTML quickly at work is obviously a bad idea.
