When someone asked me to create a friendster account, I only thought that it was but a waste of time to do so. This was the thought that I had when I saw the site saying that it connects people and let people find others as friends. But the time that I finally gave in and created an account, I've realized that having friendster account has a lot of advantages. Just imagine, I am able to communicate with my grade school and high school buddies, whom I hardly can find for the past years. Friendster also makes messaging to friends and relatives easier.

For me, it depends on the person on what suits his taste. What I've observed is that, most people in the West prefer MySpace, while those people in Eastern countries usually have Friendster accounts.

Because really, most of the people from Asia use Friendster more than MySpace. I myself is Asian, and most of my friends also have Friendster, not MySpace, accounts.

in our country, friendster is the most popular social site than myspace or hi5 or others because of the ease in customizing it. its popularity is an advantage because it's easier to find acquaintances there.

Yes. The looks of Friendster may be simplier than MySpace but it is definitrly easy to use. The people also are friendly.

At first, I was very excited about Friendster and of its services. However, as fake profiles sprung up, I found myself opening another account just for REAL FRIENDS. I've been maintaining two accounts for more than a year now, I think
