Friendster
 

http://www.friendster.com

Just curious as to whether anybody else uses Friendster here...It's sort of a big thing at my college so I started a profile a while back. If you've never heard of it, it's a pretty cool thing to keep connected with friends and such. If you use it, give me your e-mail and we can be Friendsters...

"Friendster is the fun AND safe way to organize your social life"

Funny stuff.

Thanks Germ, Friendster looks great because I don't have to have a college e-mail address to be a part of it. The one like this that all my friends are using is the Facebook. If you're a college student, give it a try also:

I've seen the facebook, but my college (Bennington) isn't one of the schools listed, so I never got involved. All the Bennington kids use Friendster, so that's why I use it, *shrug*

Re: Friendster
 

Yeah, mine isn't listed yet either so thank you for providing me with a new option. :)

I recently deleted my account on friendster and myspace because people are retarded.

At college facebook was the big thing. So glad I go to one now that's not on their list. At my previous college I was the biggest anti-facebook protestor there ever was and ever will be. I hate it with a passion.

...There's actually a movie being made revolving around Friendster starring Topher Grace:

And I thought You've Got Mail was repulsive enough.

I'm on Friendster...

*waits for backlash*

Re: Friendster
 

I respect you!!! Friendster rules!

Really...I like the idea of Friendster... :)

Re: Friendster
 

Lol... I'm don't use Friendster to meet new people, although I get the occasional weirdo PMing me (e.g. Some old fart asked me if I'd like to have"some of his candies". In the 'Who you'd like to meet' section, I typed in "Strangers with the best candies".... :errr: )

I use Friendster to keep in contact with all my friends... They are located all over the world and having moved overseas myself, you have to admit that it's pretty handy.

Re: Friendster
 

I have friendster. I have two people from high school, and one person from University.

I'm turned off by the fact I'm literally the only caucasian in this area who "uses" it. Friendster is exclusively asian here. It is an EXTREME I'm stressing here. I'm the ONLY one.

Around my University people have a huge Xanga blog ring, too. But 98% of people belonging to the ring are also all asian. The other 2% are half-asian or a mix.

My only real online community is Livejournal, but I don't have any friends from University on it.

The real University "community" I use is MSN. I have over 40 contacts alone that I've gotten, in less than two semesters.

i have an account.....i only use it to keep contact with friends from high sch....and people who ive lost contact wiht....theres lotsa desperate lonely guys and girls on friendster who go around saying hi to every pretty person on the boards....i just think its another way for ppl to get hooked up or waste time browsing for good looking people they might want to meet...
i personally dont use it much ...just update it to tell my friends at home what im up to in sydney

Re: Friendster
 

I don't have any reason to use this. I have a xanga, and all my friends use that as well. So certain colleges are listed in friendster and thefacebook? I wonder if Pitt is listed there. Or maybe you just mean that at least one person from those certain colleges have an account at either of those two. Okay, so now I have a question. What do you mean when you say there are colleges listed at friendsters and thefacebook. That was an oddly written post..
