A rediculous patent. I think I will try to patent breathing. Then you'll all owe me a hell of a lot of cash.

Friendster vs MySpace should be a good fight. Friendster dropped the ball. They could have been what MySpace became; but they were first, so we'll have to see how this all plays out.

MySpace and Digg and Bebo and about a million other big social networking sites should all team up and hire some really good lawyers and sue friendster out of existance; though I'm sure MySpace could do this on their own since they're now owned by News Corp. |

Did anybody actually read what is exactly patented? Better do.
PS Look at the date it was filed and the date it was accepted. Seems pretty fast for such a controversial patent. |

It's even got so bad that I have to hear about it at home. I swear if I get one more request from my brother or his friends to do a custom layout for their "myspace" I'm going to start working on their computers with a baseball bat. |
