[tantek] You have to physically bump phones in person in order to add someone as a friend!
#
[tantek] What is Friendster
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Friendster" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Friendster is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[capjamesg] Oooh I love that!
#
[tantek] Yeah I may have to play with this
#
[capjamesg] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpotPass_and_StreetPass#StreetPass let people with 3DSes communicate when in close proximity too.

[capjamesg] It all came together while I was making lunch and I was like “I have to write this all _now”_ 😂
#
[tantek] I love that "all came together" feeling, and can certainly related to "have to write this all _now"_ ❤️
