Then I think again.
Yes, Friendster (FS) is definitely important somehow. The reasons may vary but all in all it pertains to knowing something about someone. There are some news in the blogsophere about how FS made it possible for others to find their old friends and long lost relatives. There are some who discovered that the person they know is totally a different person after all. Cheaters and liars are exposed.
Oh well, that's the price we pay for exposing ourselves to the world wide web. Isn't it?
But hey, there are still many people who have hidden FS accounts... Hmmm...
Honesty is still the best policy then and Friendster really rocks! =)
