After being a member of Pownce for a while, I’ve noticed that some of the friends requests I get are from people with hundreds, if not thousands of friends already. I’ve never been much of a fan of the phenomenom that raged the internet at its peak when the MySpace hype broke out. However, the nature of Pownce got me thinking, and it struck me that by having a lot of friends, you can reach out to a lot of people. And could it be, that within a vast pool of random faces and profiles there are a lot of new connections just waiting to be made?

I honestly don’t know, because I have never thought about it this way before. I’ve always thought that you should make the connection first, then become “friends”, or contacts or whatever that certain social network might call it. I’m going to make an attempt to find out however, so now I’ve just set out on a mission to make my list of friends over at Pownce as large as possible. I’m wading through a myriad of profiles, and adding most, and hopefully I’ll be able to turn some of them into nice acquiantances!

I’ll be sure to keep you updated on how it goes. Oh and as long as we’re on the subject of Pownce, I just got a fresh batch of invites if anyone’s insterested. Although I do suspect that there’s hardly any shortage of them these days.
