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.

how the f*ck am i supposed to tell if some search result is my friend? all it shows is their first name, and they expect me to figure it out?

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.

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. 🙂
