If Friendster is dying, so what is still alive? Facebook?

None of them are dying, they are each just taking different paths. I will be launching a social networking site as well. I believe the one you mentioned that is dying is actually doing some interesting corporate and white labeling social networking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
