This is so sad. There is now a Richard Dawkins social networking site, and I have no friends. Not even among those dour, hateful, amoral atheists. You'd think we'd be so perfect together!

I was looking for a Hallmark card with that on the cover (and also, preferably, a sad-eyed puppy dog) to send to Josh Rosenau and Chris Mooney, but they didn't have one, so I had to settle for a blog post. Here's the sad puppy, at least.
Oh, Internet, you are like a giant greeting card store that…
They keep dragging me back in. I try to drop it, but my inbox is full of people still arguing this point, and it's getting ridiculous. The thing is, they keep throwing godawfully bad arguments at me, as if they're trying to hit me in the head with a brick enough times to make me stupid enough to…

Dear comrades:
Although we may diverge in our philosophies and actions toward religion, we share a common goal: the promulgation of good science education in Britain and America--indeed, throughout the world. Many of us, like myself…
A few years ago, the creationist organization Answers in Genesis launched an ill-conceived ad campaign that featured kids with guns; the message was "If God doesn't matter to him, do you?". They were trying to hop onto the fear bandwagon, so popular among conservatives now, of trying to convince…
The social network meme will ruin society before religion will ;-)
You've got 384 friends on Facebook!
How many friends do you need, anyway?
You could start something called the PZ Myers Lonely Hearts Club. (And maybe it could have a band.) Dawkins would be so jealous!
We're PZ Myers' Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you have enjoyed the show

We're sorry but it's time to go.

384 friends is nothing, we are talking about social networking here! The number of friends you have is directly proportional to the size of your e-penis.
Dont worry PZ, im sure there is a pill or pump or something to increase the number of friends you have.
I signed up to the thing a couple of months ago but haven't been back. It's not very well maintained. I created a group for films and filmmakers, and one day I logged on and was told I was not a member of the group I created and couldn't post to it. So I thought, screw it. The site needs to get over its teething pains in a major way before it's as worthwhile as the others.

If there's one thing worse than religion, it's social networking sites.

Perversely (godless heathen that I am), I'm glad to hear that, Professor. I was beginning to think that I was the only one. ;) And Martin Wagner makes a good point - it does seem as though they are working out bugs as they go along.
What, we loyal readers don't count?

He gets by with a little help from his friends.
Sorry to tell you this, but the latest issue of Wired Magazine (Sept. 2007) lists the Dawkins Social Network in an article called "World's Lamest Social Networks."
"Who you'll meet: Humorless atheists"
"What's annoying: Dont these people realize that the earth is only 6,000 years old?"
Hmph, well I'm inviting all my friends and I'll be the most popular girl on the whole interweb.
So there.
Well, God loves you anyway, even if you don't have a social networking thingy.

384 Facebook friends.... including Michael Patrick Leahy? PZ, are things really that bad?
I'll be your friend.
384? Man, and I thought I was doing well when I got to 20 Facebook friends. I am such a loser! :(
Hmmm...it seems that many people who might "friend you" are already signed up on PaganBooty.com...
Do not despair. You can have stimulating intellectual conversations with this lovely chica.
I've got about 48 "friends" there and a wider network of five or six hundred. You only need one friend and suddenly you are plugged into much the same network. The trouble is that nothing actually seems to happen. I've exchanged some pleasant emails with four or five people ... and that's about it.
Perhaps I just don't understand how such sites are supposed to work.
Maybe you could pray for friends.
To Dawkins, of course.
Boy, talk about instant gratification in the modern electronic world.
Note that PZ has been a member for less than a day and has 44 friends in a network of 632. Not that I have any clue as to how many unique individuals have purposefully connected to him.
Ad majorem PZ gloriam! BTW, this is real Latin.
Dr. M.,
Don't you know that you are every smart chick's fantasy? I would have passed on Miss South Carolina but I was just too depressed thinking that she is representing the southern girl contingent. There is something to be said about moving to The Great White North, at least the main make-up tool we are contemplating is moisturizer. As far as education, well, I'm trying, a little more than that.

Ok, Mr. J. Daniels is dictating, but that only results in poor grammar and spelling. If you ever decide to lecture at Michigan Tech, I want at least a three hour head's up. We have some pretty fine micro-breweries in this town and I'd be willing to chug a few to meet you.

I think I just made a pass. Time to sleep.
So Ronery.

How long until the Richard Dawkins soda?
