In my last post I had written 50,000 dead, we now know it's about 90,000!

They are so poor, and they received a tsunami... how can they keep on believing in their gods?

Their belief must be great indeed, but one must think, what a great people to survive something like this and still believe in God - and ACT upon it - more then most of us do. we could learna very valuable lesson from there,

Wasn't it said that some American Scientists knew this was coming and didn't say anything to anyone?
Anyway, it's awful what's happen, I'm one of the many Brits who donated money to help

A Private Network, the network where my arse is classified under, deals with referrals and existing connections. For instance, Ana want to meet Sam who is a friend of her friend, John. Ana then asks John to introduce her to Sam. This is very similar to the face-to-face social situation where one meets new people through the friends they already have. On Friendster one can only view the profiles that person is connected to.

Five years ago, when there were far less people on the Internet than there are today, people were wary and skeptical about forming virtual relationships. The fact remains that online, it is very easy to create a character or persona very much different from you. One cannot be completely sure if the people they befriend in chatrooms are who they claim to be. As the years went by, the population of Internet users grew, and new softwares and innovations made online interaction easier and more convenient. The latest and most popular to date is Friendster, which was created by Jonathan Abrams, an engineer and entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley, and launched in March 2003. Friendster took the Philippines by storm on July and got anyone with access to the computer so addicted to it that reports say Friendster been growing at 20% per week since then (Smalla). Because of its ability to build friendships through “friend-of-a-friend” referrals, Friendster makes online interaction more personal and easier to carry onto the offline world than other forms of online communication.
