Internet maverick MySpace.com has found its way into news again recently, but not for the reason they would like. It would appear that net nemesis and fading net superstar Friendster.com has recently received a patent related to searching for people online based on their personal spec?s and is currently waiting for another similar patent to be approved.
As a result of the passing of said patent, Friendster Inc. now has the hard decision to make on whether or not to pursue legal action against any number of sites that use similar technology, MySpace.com being the main purveyor or said technology.
