Disappointed about Michelle but Asian women dominate

I was so glad to hear that Michelle was doing so well at the LPGA State Farm Classic golf tournament in Springfield, Ill., when later i heard that she was DQ'd for not signing her score card. Wow! DQ'd over such a small technicality (the rules are the rules) and that cost her big. It simply sucks! I went on to read that Ji Young Oh from South Korea had won it and my thought was 'that's cool'. Then, i continued to see the final leaderboard of the tournament and my jaw basically fell out of my skull. The top 5 finishers in the tournament were all Asian (three Koreans and two Chinese), seven of the top 10 were Asian, and on and on... eleven of the top 25 were Asian. Eight of the top 25 were Korean. I don't follow golf very closely, especially womens golf, but i must say i was pretty damm impressed! My curiosity lead me to the linked articles below. Check it out and enjoy!

Friendster

My first SN site was Friendster and after I moved away from it to the other heavyweights I occasionally wondered why other friends I knew on Friendster didn’t join the great migration. It was until I ran into several articles online did I start seeing the big picture much clearer.

Basically, it’s an ASIAN thing. Friendster is the #1 social networking in ASIA with the Philippines leading the way. Why? The reason is simply because Friendster was the first of it’s kind, and Filipinos are staying loyal to the first. Indonesia, Malaysia, US, and Singapore round out the Top 5 but the next big market that Friendster is already way ahead of the heavyweight competition in is China.
