"If I were to log into Friendster today I would see a perfectly preserved document of my life in 2003. The people I was friends with then (most of them, sadly, I’m no longer in touch with) and the inside jokes we shared, not to mention the photos of me at that age. It makes me really want to not log in or log in and destroy it all."

“There is that process of packing your bags from Friendster to Myspace to Facebook and never looking back, because whatever purpose the previous site had is now exceeded by the newer one. There’s no brand loyalty in social media. When one network gets crowded with too many people too unlike the early developers, they will flock elsewhere.”
