It seems like their servers are crappy at certain times. If you're in Alameda that's cool...probably are connected already.

Other than the shoddy servers, it's not bad.

i think if there's a link to their bio page, you're somehow connected. and if there isnt a link, then youre not.

Look them up by both their last name and first name.

im on it. i found a few people i dont talk to anymore so it's cool in that sense.

 

[neovan]

i found people i forgot existed...interesting idea nonetheless.

[NeoMadHatter]

it also has a bunch of made up people though. like homer simpson and princess leia, etc... so that part sucks.

I think friendsters's someone experiment to prove that 6 degree theory... its not really a service its just an experiment to prove a theory.... anywho thats my whole take on that madness

 

[johneetrash]

6 degrees of Kevin Bacon?

I did a search and there were 18 Kevin Bacon's signed up for Friendster which may explain some of the whole phenomenon. 🙂
