NYT on Friendster et al..

How this piece missed orkut entirely, I’ll never know, but it shows the shallowness common to these kinds of easy articles. It asks the facile question: “where’s the business model,” but then refuses to answer it – it’s in the data, it’s in the portal strategy, it’s in the user lockdown. I hate it when reporters don’t do the math.
