Do you know HI5 ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Tuga · 08-06-2006, 07:18 PM

I see A LOT of myspace talk around here, I was wondering if you know hi5.com ?
It's the largest social networking site in Portugal, everyone under 25 is there! But since it's an american site I would like to know if it's big in the US too, or is it some strange coincidence that it got so big in Portugal.

never heard of it

I wonder how they got to be THE social network site in Portugal, they dont even have a PT version of the site, and no advertising. Just the viral invites.

aico · 08-06-2006, 07:21 PM

I've seen it.

I've heard of hi5. Pretty popular here but myspace wins by a landslide. It all depends on the demographic of the users. Take Google's Orkut for example. They are non existant here but HUGE in Brazil. Or UK's bebo.com. HUGE over there but not popular here.

What's amazes me is that orkut was not made with brazilians in mind, nor HI5 was designed for portuguese. But somehow it spread like wildfire, I deleted 50 invitations before I gave up and joined the site too. Everyone I know has a profile, it's like having a mail address. And I bet the guys who did it didnt even know where Portugal is.

damn, with all the spam I receive from them, im surprised not more people heard of them

Wagerboy · 08-06-2006, 08:45 PM

I get about 5 invites a week from hi5....I signed up but the site was slow and none of my "messages" would ever load, so I just delete the mail now.

Yeah it's pretty common here in Australia... I really hate how everyone on your MSN list who joins auto e-mails you...

I once got an invitation to this site from a friend; however, I was just too lazy to make another account that day after recently signing up at MySpace.

notabook · 08-06-2006, 09:39 PM

Heard of it, never used it... I guess ok if you like spam from the looks of things.
