What happened to Friendster?

I remembered I never signed up in Friendster.com when I was in high school because I heard it was a site for stalking people. Yeah right. Like ANY networking site now is meant for STALKING.

Multiply was my first ever networking site and sort of abandoned it when I was in college and everyone was totally into Friendster. I hated that time. My engineering boy friends would all go “What?” when I tell them I don’t have any Friendster account because they are gonna add me up like a friend or whatever. But I told them I don’t have to be added because we’re already friends personally. They still insisted being online is different.

Still, no signing up happened. Until Tia, Beth and I decided to have a game that for the year 2007 (or 2006?!)anyone from the three of us who’s gonna have a boyfriend first will be treated by the other two spinsters to SBARRO. We were addicted to Sbarro then. We called it the Sbarro game. Since any kind of boyfriend will do (Online boyfriend or long distance bf or real bf), CAN YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVED I SIGNED UP IN FRIENDSTER?

So poof. My account was born. Everyone was then surprised when I invited friends because I was not civilized with picture taking to be posted as a primary picture (I heard some) in friendster.

I can’t believe because of Sbarro, I was in Friendster. But forget the boyfriend thing. Nothing happened. We were just all laughing at the guys. LOL.

Great thing about friendster is that it’s so Filipino. There are a lot of fellow Filipinos who use the site. I have also gained contact with my lost friends when we all scattered schools for college. But now I don’t know. It seemed boring though. No games (like Facebook) and applications are common. But the thing is that it’s easy to customize your site since there is a guide on how to put your background and customize everything… And so on.

Don’t know. I’m a bit attached to Facebook and multiply now. And any other networking sites that interests me like Twitter. I’m still trying to revive my mySpace account though it had been dead for years already. Tee-hee.

See you on Facebook, Vox, Twitter, Blogger, MySpace, Deviantart, Hubpages, etc!
