my cousin told me last night that that friendster pretty much sucks now b/c you can't view people that are not your friends' profiles.

but since friendster is so buggy..it could just be a temporary glitch...

It was a temp glitch. Recently the servers are a lot better. Or maybe I was just checking at a good time. Hrm. Fun for awhile but nothing to go crazy about. I'm "friends" with Outkast, Eliza Dushku and Puff Daddy! :p

Check during the daytime. The server has more Asian users than Western.

All my friends are addicted to this thing. It's pretty cool, but like everyone else said, theire servers are slower than all hell.

i dunno, i don't really see the appeal. i generally find that just because i like someone, that doesn't mean i'll like their friends.

i'm on it, but i haven't been to the site in forever.

The point of the service has been defeated. "Connectors" are made that people add as friends, and destroys the accuracy of the friendship network. Further, some losers seem to be on a race to have the biggest "friends" list, by soliciting pretty much anyone they have encountered to be their friend.

Its stupid.

Only if you care about what others do with it.

Friendster is pretty much dead. Ever since they announced that they will be charging for their services, people have been finding alternatives and now I feel it's very much deserted. I still go on once in awhile but not being able to see other ppl's profiles suck.
