Dear Judith
Thanks for the news. However, you have a mistake. I am the CEO of www.netster.co.il which is the FIRST Jewish/Israeli social networking in the world which is localted in Israel. We have launched our social networking in the end of 2003 and therefore we are anyway the FIRST. In addition,there is a consensus about it in the Israeli media at Haarez daily newspaper, www.wall.co.il, MSN News First Class, Yedioth daily newspaper and others. About AVI comments. He is probably frustrated competitor who wish to make image damage to our FIRST Jewish social networking. We have our own differentiation from other SMS and we are getting a great comments from users who loves our social networking. For example we got a comment from user who wrote '' I invited friends who did not want to hear about dating website before, because this is a new way to make commections through friends and friend of friends '' In addition, we have a unique feature for dating which no other dating site in the world have. Please be king and correct again that we are the FIRST. I would be highly appreciated if you can publish my comments.

2. OK, advertise a poor website all you want. But misinformation is a bad thing.

Your original post on June 9, 2004 said that you launched a month ago - that would be May 2004, not the end of 2003. So which is it?

If your contention is that you are the first SNS based in Israel, you're wrong again, www.hevre.co.il (a site based on social networks through affiliations like schools, army service, etc.) and huminity.com (Social networking instant messaging) have been around for longer.

Actually, the picture of the frog on your webpage does all the damage to your image that one could possibly imagine. As of this posting, your "contact" and "help" links just go to your home page.

I'm not a competitor. I'm a student. And if you're contending that as of now, you're the first to the market, then you wouldn't have any competitors, would you?

Like I said, I think ChosenNet is a poor service as well. That's why you won't find your friends on there, and that's why they have their "community liasons" write user testimonials. I don't have any ill will towards your companies. But I am very critical of what I see as bad business practices. You may be on the internet, but you are still a business, so have some integrity.
