[friendster? enemy-ster?] okay i admit i got that one from rishi, but what is going on with this friendster craze? is it one huge pot of singles trying to meet their soulmate? is it a popularity contest? is it an invasion of personal space? true, it is pretty interesting to see that everyone seems to know the SAME people (aiyoh) around here, but at the same time, it does also bring about the uglier side of me. are you not compelled sometimes to click on someone who just quite isn't your bud, someone you'd jump in front of a zebra for? on another front, are you secretly surfing for that hunky guy even though you're "in a relationship"? what about those testimonials? what are they supposed to do? (and no, i'm not bitter because i only have one. *waaaahh*) anyhoo, i guess i finally succumbed to the emails that were flooding my inbox out of curiosity and interest, but....friendster, though a social phenomenon, is evil i tell you -- it's evil.
