Here we go yet again. They did not patent "A networked computer system [that] provides various services for assisting users in locating, and establishing contact relationships with, other users." That's just the abstract. Gotta read the claims, people. The claims are what tell you exactly what the patent covers.
It sure doesn't seem like there's anything you can develop these days that isn't infringing on something; but it also doesn't seem like these kind of patents are often enforced.<p>So as a developer, the right thing to do with software patents is simply ignore them until someone sues you, right?
