Saw this site on the morning news today. Kind of interesting concept.

http://www.Friendster.com

chowda · 10-20-2003, 08:50 AM

its been popular for quite some time..

JamesK · 10-20-2003, 08:50 AM

fris · 10-20-2003, 08:52 AM

Rick Latona · 10-20-2003, 08:57 AM

Yeh it was funny on the news they showed this one girl who has over 750,000 friends connected to friends connected to friends in her network.

slapass · 10-20-2003, 09:01 AM

Friend finder rolled out the same thing.

Tera · 10-20-2003, 09:09 AM

I am on there! It's a pretty cool way for me and my friends back home to keep in contact, but, the damn site is always fucking up, I like it though. I rarely go in there anymore, but it's nice to see my friends and what their up to, and who they are meeting and so on, cool concept for sure.

gornyhuy · 10-20-2003, 09:35 AM

Im surprised it hasnt' been taken over by link spam yet...

sherie · 10-20-2003, 09:36 AM

It's cool! I joined it cause someone made me...

socalcash · 10-20-2003, 09:42 AM

It will be interesting to see if this takes over online dating sites.

AmeliaG · 10-20-2003, 09:46 AM

I get invites to join this viral thing constantly. I feel bad ignoring them because of the name I think. Like not accepting the invite is like saying the person is not my friend. But I am so deeply not going to put my Rolodex online for more convenient access by people who aren't me.

Digipimp · 10-20-2003, 09:47 AM

I'm on there and I have no friends.

TaylorM · 10-20-2003, 09:50 AM

I am on there too. It is cool and if you are single it can be used as a dating tool, however geography might be an obstacle.

Tera is right, the site is SLOW and down a lot!

It's fun though!

those personas kill me!

MaxDent · 10-20-2003, 10:09 AM

Friendster was designed to become a dating website, not just to track your friends. I've noticed a few dating ads but I think they are waiting until they have more users so they can integrate the 'dating' addition.

Too slow for me though, I've tried logging in and using my account but it is way too cumbersome.

naw, this one is real - robert smith from the Cure..I checked it out down the line through people...we have a lot of music industry people in our chain. As the Cure is one of my all time faves I dont mind saying it made me a bit wet.

Matt 26z · 10-20-2003, 10:49 AM

As of like 6 months ago the owners had invested $250,000 into Friendster, and it hadn't actually made anything yet. I don't know what the story is now.

WiredGuy · 10-20-2003, 10:57 AM

Interesting concept, would hate to spam my friends to join though.

loverboy · 10-20-2003, 11:40 AM

nice site if you ask me, lot of nice chicks on that board...
signed up a couple of weeks ago and hauling some friends from the net. just some cheap past time job, im only in for the pictures.

fris · 10-22-2003, 01:53 PM

ya a month or two back they had to upgrade their servers cause it was being accessed so much. their crappy hardware couldnt take it. i guess the 486's they invested in werent up to par on the cable modem.

man, I am one of the most cynical bitches you could meet, I never take anything at face value. I'm telling you I checked it out and it is him. As, I said, we have music biz people in our chain. I just wish he was a little closer down my chain.

Zoe_Zoebaboe · 10-22-2003, 03:19 PM
