Social networking sites such as Facebook have experienced phenomenal growth in the past year, according to market researcher comScore. Facebook is now the No. 1 social networking site, with more than 120 million active users, and its fastest growing demographic is those 25 and older.
But with so many opportunities these days to connect with people online, some are confronting a question they thought they had left behind during their awkward adolescent years: What if I don't want to be your friend?
“It’s really odd when suddenly your past comes out and finds you,” said Troy Sandal, 38, of San Francisco, who says he’s been contacted recently by former high school classmates. His 20-year high school reunion was held over the summer, although he did not attend. “To be honest, I had two friends in high school and I kept in touch with one.”

Welcome to Revenge Gifts and Happy Holidays! The holiday season is traditionally busy for Revenge-Gifts.com. My year round gifts, the allergy pillows, seasonal urns, metallic boxers and other products are designed with long term effects in mind. For Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza and whatever other pagan holiday my sick and twisted patrons may participate in (which all seem to require gifts) I break out the short-attention-span, land-fill-destined, one-shot-deal gifts. These are gifts that express how the giver truly feels about the giving season of bad lawn ornaments, annoying twinkle lights and family gatherings spawned in hell. If a gift is obligatory, allow me to assist in expressing your level of disdain for the recipient. It’s what I do best.

Last Friday a couple hundred gays and their friends chased a small group of young Christian preachers out of the Castro, calling them "bigots" and chanting "Don’t come back!"
I wish I’d been there.
The video of the event, or rather part of the event, has now been posted on YouTube, along with a written account by one of the preachers, who claims that they were both physically and sexually assaulted.
"It wasn’t long before the violence turned to perversion. They were touching and grabbing me, and trying to shove things in my butt, and even trying to take off my pants - basically trying to molest me..."
Unfortunately for him the video doesn’t capture any of this particular "molestation," but our little gay uprising has predictably garnered both scorn and ridicule, and our community is accused of hostility and intolerance, and all weekend I wrestled with my conscience over the primal anger that still sweeps through me when I watch this video.

One idea gaining traction ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Peru is to forge a regional free-trade zone from existing bilateral pacts of APEC's 21 members, a diverse lot that also includes Russia, Mexico, Australia, Canada and Indonesia.
Leaders of the world's biggest economies last week called for rapid economic stimulus packages to stabilize financial markets and for new efforts to reach a global free trade deal.
President George W. Bush and the leaders of other APEC countries, which together account for more than half of global economic output, will use their summit to push again for a deal under the so-called Doha round of world trade talks.
