Marc Canter has posted an interesting follow-up to several recent stories about the new social networking service Tribe.net. (He doesn’t mention my piece, but the ones he does cite all observe basically the same thing I did — that there’s way too many similar services out already.) One important point he makes does clarify an issue that was wrong in my earlier piece — I cited Friendster as Tribe.net’s main inspiration, but Marc correctly points out that the original service in this space was not Friendster, but Ryze. Sorry about that.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's. ESPECIALLY not my employer's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. (Unless you consider staying employed in this economy a miracle.) I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
