My last painting series was based on photos saved from profiles on Friendster and MySpace. When i tried to explain this to folks in Cambodia, no one really had a clue about these online communities. Almost anyone with a dialtone and a modem knows of Google. Interesting fact: In the past two years, MySpace has over 2.5 times the traffic as Google. Yes. I couldn't believe it myself until i read it here.

The Internet has a rising star whose name isn't Google. Just over 2 years old, MySpace now has 2 1/2 times the traffic of Google Inc., and it quickly eclipsed Friendster as the top social-networking site where users build larger and larger circles of friends.
