What's So Great About Friendster?
Most of my friends are members of "Friendster", a social network which claims to help people to socialize and make new friends. Many people like to use Friendster and claim it to be addictive yet I still can't figure what could be the possible reason behind the addiction. Many of my friends recommend me to use Friendster but I have always declined their request. I have seen their friendster site and I still can't see anything special which is worthy for registering. It doesn't have anything special. My friends like it because they say they could upload pictures and receive new updates about their friends' profile. Feeling a little curious, I went to register one myself using the name, Bruce Almighty. After trying it by myself, I can only conclude one thing. Friendster sucks!!! The photo options are ridiculous and lousy. There are so little features that Friendster provides. The background of the site provided by Friendster is also hideous. Some of my friends can have hundreds of friends on their Friendster list. Many of them are totally strangers who added them as friends because they are either pretty or look cool. I still don't understand the use of having so many strangers as friends for. If you read the news, you would know that this type of social networking are actually traps which some people use to ensnare young naive girls who in the end become victims of rape cases. Their tactics are very common. These guys are like wolf in sheep's clothing. They masquerade themselves with pictures of handsome guys and use sweet talks when chatting online to entice the girls into going out with them. Naive girls would then believe them and go out with them without even suspecting a thing. Then after a good date to melt their hearts, the guy would invite them to a hotel or somewhere quiet and remote, and at last the "thing" happens. Then, the girl would feel regret and report it to her parents. Worst of all, the girl coud get pregnant and the guy would refuse to take responsibility. In the end, the girl would either abort the child or commit suicide. I would hate if I have so many strangers in my chat list. That would be a nuisance for me. For me, I would prefer having only a few friends who are truly sincere to having thousands of strangers as friends. In the end, I would gave the rating 1 out of 10 to Friendster. I prefer using "Blogger" as my social network where I can have the satisfactory of typing many articles relating to myself and the people around me so that my friends could know me better. When it comes to online photo galleries, I prefer "Dotphoto" to upload my galleries which have many features such as photo editing, and slideshows with beautiful backgrounds and tranquil musics. Friends who want to look at my profile can also do so by looking at this blogspot too. You can do so by clicking the "view my complete profile" situated at the top of this site. I also like the auto save feature of blogspot which saves the post I am typing every few seconds. This is really helpful if I accidentally closed my internet explorer when typing just like what I did a few seconds ago. For Blogger and Dotphoto, I give them the rating 9 out of 10 each. To conclude this post, I would like to make the following statement: Friendster SUCKS!!! Blogger and Dotphoto RULES!!!
