So! The sidekick is home, safe and sound. I am not an addict! I am not an addict!<\/font><\/p>\n

While looking for a picture of the sidekick, I came across a new site. This is called ‘dodgeball<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

This is yet another FOAFer in vein of friendster, orkut, tribe, and for those who remember sixdegrees (which was actually one of the better ones, though now defunct)<\/p>\n

So, what makes Dodgeball any different? (Ma nishta na halaylah hazeh?)<\/p>\n

Dodgeball.com interacts with you via cell phone. You tell it what venue you are near\/at and it will tell you who is within 10 blocks of you on your friends or friends-of-friends list. You of course can control who can and can’t get these updates. They refer to this friends list management as the “ex-girlfriend bug”<\/p>\n

Dodgeball also has a ‘crush list’ much like orkut. So most of you males can also be frustrated at the number of female friends<\/i> that you have \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

So… I invite people to look at Dodgeball and to add me as a friend if it is your will to do so. I will check it routinely and add people as well as they join the service\/notify me.<\/p>\n

IN the words of Leslie Neilsen in ‘Airplane!,’ “Good luck. We’re all counting on you.”<\/p>\n
