I have not used Friendster, although I’ve barely tried LinkedIn, which is similar but aimed at professional rather than personal use. (They are connected, but not the same company. Somehow, Friendster garnered millions of dollars of venture funding a few weeks ago… why? Anyway, the point of this post is that Philip Greenspun (early web database guru) teaches software development, and he had his class do a usability analysis of Friendster. Since I haven’t used the site/application, I haven’t read them all — but for Friendster, what great free feedback!
