What do you use friendster for?

I was just wondering what people use friendster for. The original aim for friendster seems to be connect somebody to somebody else (almost like a dating site). Have you done that? Have you matched up someone using friendster? Other uses seems to be simply connecting with friends. Like an address books. Other people just seems to be trying to get as many friends as possible (heaven knows why...). So why do you use friendster? Anyone have a creative use of friendster?

I haven't tried using Friendster akin to a dating site. I'm afraid I'll encounter dubious accounts and instead of befriending a guy, I'd end up befriending a girl or a serial killer or pedophile or some other scary person LOL I only use friendster to check on my real friends, see their photos, check updates on their lives and send a message or two sometimes.

Interesting. I thought it was only guys who pretend to be girls. In fact now you're telling me that girls also pretend to be guys :) :).

I use friendster to keep in touch with my former school mates, batch mates and my friends who are already in the States. I only keep my friendster account as exclusive as possible to those whom I know only. I don't accept strangers . I have one account for those who would like to be friends with me but I don't know personally.

I used friendster for communicating or finding my long lost friends. It's a big help for me because now I have news in all my friends and it's easily to connect with different kinds of people. But I haven't used the friendster in dating, sometimes I usually used it in searching my favorite actors/actresses. Hoping that they have a friendster account but most of the times there's a lot of people who's pretending to be somebody they are not.

actually, I guess I use friendster for a networking. first I'd like to let everybody know who I am, that's the main purpose. then usually I use it as media to promote my online business or something like that. I usually mail my friend one by one. to keep them in touch, to let them know my business. also I wrote a bulletin to let everybody in my network know what recently I'm doing, for example mylot. I got many referrals from my friendster. visit http://toysfinder.blogspot.com

before i use friendster just for pleasure, i did made five accounts which are full, almost 1000 friends each, i dont reallyknow whos adding me and who i am adding to, i think the reason why is friendster is common here in the philippines that if you have many accounts and friends, you are famous, but now, i made one official account, which is only meant for keeping in touch with my friends and finding my old friends too.

I use friendster to stay connected with my friends here in the Philippines and abroad. The great thing about friendster is it's ability to connect different people with such a creative modern manner. Here, I am talking about those HTML comments and testimonials and those customized page layouts that in one way or another shows a person's character. Friendster really is great!
