Friendster is a fun diversion, I don&#8217;t really pay attention to it much unless someone sends me a friend request.  I&#8217;m not using it as a dating service or anything, I actually think that aspect of it is kind of silly.  On the other hand. I like what I&#8217;ve experienced with Ryze.  There is a real sense of community there.  It doesn&#8217;t feel overdone.  I&#8217;m waiting for the next get together of people from the Boston network on there.<\/p>\n<p>I actually like the idea of things like Ryze and LinkedIn the best though.  Friendster is a little bit too open. There&#8217;s a fair amount of noise (even though I have found some cool linkage between people I know).  The audience for the others is much more targeted, it isn&#8217;t trying to attract the world. Which means you get people who are there specifically to network, as opposed to seeing how many friends they can get linked to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been a growing number of sites out there for networking.
