I have noticed that my list of MySpace friends doesn't grow linearly. You can't just go to the last page of your "friends" to see who's added themselves to your train.

New "friends" seem to get added and sorted at random. I am assuming it is a ruse used to maximmize pageviews and thusly ad revenue. Still, it lends itself for some unplanned and quite humorous comingly of people who may have never met outside your list.

Like the case of the smiley death-match between Hanifah Walidah, DJ, video producer & master networker extraordinaire; and Barack Obama, presidential rock star. Who has the biggest grin, illest fashion sense and flawless-ler skin? You decide!

Then there's the war of the geeks. There's the policy geek and anti-war powerhouse, Senator Russ Feingold. On the other corner is Jason, "i am lawgeek, hear me roar" Schultz.

I think I heard somewhere that you are attracted to the same 3 or 4 people that made indelible impressions on you early in life, including your parents. If you look at blogdiva|my list of friends, you definitely find a narrative there.
