Apparently social networking sites are slowly headed for an all time low. With Friendster we started out with an elitist attitude that only those we deemed worthy could be invited into our club. With Myspace we realized, "hey, creepy people are people too, we should allow them to see our pages." With Facebook we have a utopia of social connectivity. Well, the hay day is over. Welcome to the decline.
Introducing Couchsurfing. Here you can log in, create a profile, and be ready to surf the globe in a matter of minutes. For 20 bucks a month and one seriously brave soul you can stay on any couch in the world. Supposedly murders and rapists can't apply but the background check looks about as useful as TSA security more than anything else. So if you're homeless but have access to wifi at a Starbucks, you're as good as gold tonight. Even the irrefutable New York Times has written an article about it. Don't worry if you have bed bugs, that's part of their motto "Peace, Love, and Bed Bugs."
