Personally I was introduced to the fad during my Beta second semester I suppose while staying in hostel. The basic idea was to keep in touch with school friends. It was just a year plus since we all got out of school so the intensity and the idea of keeping in touch was perfect for everyone.
Thus I signed up and started adding all my school friends. Along the way, I added my tuition friends, Alpha friends , cousins and people I knew. I never had the idea of adding people I never knew. I still don't. I don't see the point of adding people just to increase your friends counter.
"TING TING TING. Congratulations you have touched 300 ppl
TING TING TING..350 and counting.."
It's dumb. No disrespect to those out there who are trying to win the Friendster's Most Friends on my List Race. Can't blame you for being retarded.
Anyhow as the years past by, I started browsing to check out chicks. My hormones were kicking a big fuss. As I browsed thru , I told my shallow mind that the world is HUGE and there are many females out that and there is no need to press the BIG RED button that reads PANIC.
From time to time, I would message a few girls whom I thought were interesting and slightly on the brighter side. Since then my confidence have sky rocketed. I still think it's floating up there in space (my confidence). I've met many interesting friends online and till this very day we do still keep in touch.
There came a point in my boring hostel life where I would wake up before class, check my Friendster then pay a visit to the 'loo'. After classes , I would login another time and one last time before I hit the bed. This went on for a brief period of time. Scary.
Note : These people have remained as chat friends and some have added me into their Friendster.
The point I'm trying to make is EVEN if you HAVE to add people in friendster because it's just your weird habit, make it a point to converse and trying being friends rather than just sending a ADD FRIEND link.
Then MySpace came about. Gave 2 *****. Never registered, never bothered.
Hi-Fi came around I suppose. Registered but never logged in more than twice.
Now I'm thinking of modifying my Friendster page but as usual, I'm just being lazy.
