CHICAGO MAROON -- Jan 13 -- If you haven't heard of either site yet,
you're probably outside their target demographic (35 and under).
Friendster and The Facebook channel a spirit similar to the one that
fueled Howard Dean's groundbreaking campaign Meet-ups. Strangers united
by a common cause, interest, or acquaintance use the Internet to
interact with one another. For many users, Friendster and The Facebook
are simply modern-day work-ups of the classic "Kevin bacon" game: Users

another. And as addicts are prone to do, it's easy to scapegoat such
sites for the social ills of urban alienation. CHICAGO MAROON
