- Thanks for that! It was very nicely written. I've just experienced a letdown in my life and was feeling very down. I just have to take a deep breathe and move on to the next thing.

I haven't tried myspace yet. I think people are having social overload. there's myspace,facebook,friendster, orkut, ...etc. I hope there's a social network bridge out there so that people can just maintain one and they get connected to everything.
