friendster schmenster. I REFUSE TO GET SUCKED IN no matter how many invitations I get! You, too must resist the urge! Now! Before it's too late! Alas, I think it's too late for many of my friends already... :( In all seriousness, I'm not really sure what the point is. To see how popular you are by finding out how many friends you have? To get hooked up? To stalk people? As great (uh, great?) as those reasons may be, I feel like for me personally, I'd just end up wasting my time away. (Not like I don't already by watching tv and doing other mindless things. I'm trying to wean myself off these kinds of things.) Plus, 1) finding out how many friends I have and how "popular" I am can lead to a source of pride for myself, 2) I sure don't want to get hooked up over the internet. Can you imagine telling your kids how you met? and 3) hmm... as fun as stalking people may sound to some people, do YOU want to be stalked? Gotta think about it in both directions. Anyway that's my personal opinion. If you think otherwise, please feel free to enlighten me.
