"Friendster comments on Kuro5hin"
08/03/2003 Entry
I submitted my Friendster comments to Kuros5hin. It got past the community peer-review process (which means that about 300 readers voted on it) so now it's up and people can discuss it. Some people have also posted some interesting comments here on the blog as well.

Hi Eszter,
Congrats on getting on to Kuro5hin. Its great. Sadly, many of your posts seem to come from people who are too old to appreciate friendster, I suspect. If you look at the age distribtuion of those on livejournal, for example its resoundingly teens and young twenties. I suspect a similar thing is happening on LiveJournal.
Could it be that the friendsters don't appreciate the problems of intermingling their lives, yet? Or that your ideas of separation tacitly superimpose cultural values of regulated fragmentation onto others, who through this technology might be changing the way we look at role sets and personal networks?
I don't know the answer, but it is evident that those who have been online longer and are on more often are also more tolerant and open, particularly the younger crowd, but the relationhsip holds when controlling for age (See Robinson's Diversity Divide article in IT& Society for more)
btw - I don't have a kuro5hin membership, which is why I'm posting here. I'm jsut a passive consumer; but its also a way of circumventing my propensity to waste time.
Take Care, BERNiE
