Hinweis der Redaktion
early sites - designed for one purpose, audience moves, either go with audience or new site appears
new tools often change us too, as much as they're changed by the audience
Designed for dating, Friendster soon was overtaken by music fans who used it to connect to each other and spread news about concerts and other events.
Etiquette: think about contacts carefully or limit your settings
