SixDegrees.com predated Friendster by 6 years. "Friend of a friend" networking, inviting your contacts to share their connections and reciprocating, increasing your sphere of influence through indirect ties, and being a part of The Big Cloud has been an Internet staple since well before "Web 2.0" (and quite frankly before "Web 1.0", with BBS communities such as The Well).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phydeaux]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2009 2:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Friendster Founder Claims He Invented Social Networking]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/23/friendster-founder-claims-he-invented-social-networking/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/23/friendster-founder-claims-he-invented-social-networking/</guid><description><![CDATA[when something goes big......<br><br><br><br><br>Pierluigi Rotundo]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pierluigi Rotundo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 3:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Friendster Founder Claims He Invented Social Networking]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/23/friendster-founder-claims-he-invented-social-networking/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/23/friendster-founder-claims-he-invented-social-networking/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nonsense.  I developed the first user-generated forums (aka Social Networks) that contained message areas, file storage, and live chats at CompuServe in 1981. I also coined the term "forums" back then.<br><br>It wasn't my fault that computers and networks back then couldn't do graphics.
