I got a friendster account years ago. Kat E invited me. I set up my profile, emailed friends encouraging them to sign up, and ... well there wasn't really anything to do after that. Y'know? None of the people I invited signed up. So I let it sit fallow. Friendster eagerly sends me emails to keep me abreast of the lastest and greatest that it has to offer.
So I logged in today and tooled around with my profile a little. There's groups and discussions and games. It turns out there is a whole daisy chain of acquaintance of mine on there. A person I hate has an account there. There's folks I barely knew from college who have accounts. Heck, it even turns out that My Guy has a closed Friendster account.
And ... I still don't know what the heck to people do on Friendster.
I don't know what people do on there either, but I joined when I was trying to get a new job in a new city. I "made" a lot of contacts via Friendster, but nothing came of it.
ReplyDeleteGeez, I haven't logged into Friendster in ages. Yeah, I never really got much out of it either. But guess what method of procrastination I'll be choosing today!?!
ReplyDeletePLD: Ah. Good point. The professional contact thing briefly occurred to me. But I would feel so silly trying to schmooze someone who knows that Xanadu is one of my favorite movies. Where's the credibility?
ReplyDeleteKatE: LOL. On three occasions yesterday My Guy asks "What are you doing." Each time I was retweaking my friendster profile. Busted!
:( I was never invited to Friendster. *pout* I don't want it now, anyways.
ReplyDeleteBBFK: I hear that Friendster is so very 2003, and these days you want to be on Lavalife or My Space.
ReplyDeleteI didn't invite you cause at that time you were working right next door to me! We didn't need messaging, we went to Merry Ann's for grilled cheese.
