That's what I wanted to do before, when I knew about Yuwie.
Can you imagine being paid just for socializing with your friends?
I wanted to migrate to Yuwie. I want all my friendster's friends to migrate with me and experience a different kind of socializing in the internet.
But this day alone, I mean yesterday, a BIG difference just pop-out. I will stay with friendster. And here is the reason, I found two of my long lost friends.
I was so excited when I opened my friendster account to find out two friends need my acceptance. One is a girlfriend of mine during the college time. And the other is my boy bestfriend in college who happened to be my boardmate too.
That was only yesterday. But long before, I also found in friendster, my bestfriends in the elementary days. One is in Australia now and the other is in Dubai.
Can you really leave friendster?

i had been in friendster for many years already. and it's through friendster where i found my long lost friends, classmates, schoolmates, workmates... just like you. the connection i have in friendster plus the year i had been with them is a strong enough reason for me to stay there.
i signed up in yuwie, too. but i don't know when and why. but i never got the chance to visit it anymore after signing up. i don't have that huge interest in yuwie. my addiction is in friendster.

nope i won't. some of my friends are not interested in yuwie even though i explain it to them that it's not a scam. and aside from that, you know naman na yuwie's not that familiar in our country lol so it's hard for me to convince them to join yuwie

That's true, aside from its unpopularity, people mostly think that it's just a scam. Well, thank you my friend. Mabuhay ka, rhane...

No, I can't. Just like you, I also found (or they found me) my long-lost friends from elementary, highscool, college, colleauges and ex-boyfriends
... and oh yeah, not to forget the enemies..lol.. Well, for me, friendster is just like part of my history. And so I still open my friendster account 'coz they are there. Eventhough, they won't follow me here in mylot ..

I cannot leave friendster because it is already a part of my life. As what others said friendster is one way to connect with friends,family and other love ones.In friendster we can communicate with our friends even though you are far with each other you can feel that they are just there beside you.You will also know the progress of your friends their success and achievements in life.

Hi neil.;p
I also have a Yuwie account it's bec. of neil again.But I am not active user of Yuwie and I don't remember my password.lol .I have 2 friendster accounts and I forgot my password on my 2nd account.
I started friendster after my marriage got annulled.My sisters encouraged me to create a yahoo acocount and YM.;p..When I started looking or searching for friends on friendster..I looked for my old friends first and then my "Ex's" hahaha...old suitors and would you believe I even added my old enemies as well.I am just curious how they look like now.Aside from having a contact with old friends and ex's my second reason would be to see their faces from albums on their account..lol.It's just such a nice feeling to see old friends in friendster.
Sad to say I haven't found my first boyfriend in friendster yet.sigh.hahaha

i cannot leave friendster as much as i want to because it is my only connection that i have with lots of my old friends, classmates, co-workers and friends...as much as i want to leave it because i hate the owner i cannot convince all of my friends to migrate because they are just so crazy about friendster when they really get no money from it...it is fine with them..hay filipinos talaga...hindi nag-iisip.

[i]Hi neildc,
I can't..LOL! I just joined friendster this year and I was amazed when I found all my classmates whom I have not seen or meet for more that 10 years...LOL! I was very excited and happy and now we are exchanging emails once in a while!
SO, I will never close my account for that...I am looking forward to find more friends since I know some are married and don't have the same family name anymore and it's not showing...It's amazing to find these friends and they are all over the world now..LOL! What a memory![/i]

I can't just give up my friendster account also. Like you, I was able to connect to some of my long lost friends, classmates and cousins through friendster. My two kids are also my friends there.
Yuwie is different from friendster, it is not a good alternate or replacement for friendster.

hi neil.
believe it or not i don't have a friendster account. the site never really appealed to me. i've only joined yuwie and other social networking sites because of the revenue earning opportunities that they have for users such as myself.
to each his own i guess?

I can't leave friendster. I 've been there to find my long lost friend. i just wish that site would stay for long so that when my friends and I will be getting older, we will still have to see each other even tru pictures alone. I really can't leave friendster. It becomes part of my life already.
