Friendster is the new happening??

they say that internet is the fastest living media to touch people all over the world. Many matters have proven this. but there's a new happening thing, that seems to have awaken the eyes of the youngster about the well being of this media. *hmm..or is it only me??* and it says FRIENDSTER.. nowadays, when you meet someone new, u dont ask about their contacts, but often the first line that pops up is "do you have friendster?". the development of this website is amazing! some who have refused to use this website, finally decided to become a member. Many reasons there are behind this decision. many have heard the testimonials of their friends on how they've found the long lost friends or how they've make new friends, and for others, friendsters is just their media of gaining other's acknowledgment that they are "anak gaul"! Unfortunatelly, some of them have become "PECUN FRIENDSTER" (this is my friend's slank for "friendster's bitch"). It's them who will do anything to add up their number of friends at that site, to be called "anak gaul. BUT IT"S VERY LEGAL IN THE FRIENDSTER'S WORLD!! But after a while, i've found some iritating things in this site. THe biggest thing is that it is still in "beta" version, so many things still go wrong with that site. finally, you'll end up loging in all day to this site, without making any changes at all, since the move you've made hasn't been recorded by the site. But i guess, we'll just have to hold on to it untill they find some companies who will sponsor this site. One thing that i like about this site is that you can give testimonials on your friends, and they can give one on you. it's very touching to hear what they can say about you. they can say things that are akward to be said on everyday based. But browsing to some people's page -- some of i know from my past experience was not the best kind of friends, i've seen them have some touching testiomonials also. SO, WHAT IS THIS? Has this testimonial things have become a "payback program", where u say good things about some people, and they are OBLIGED to say good things back to you? Can't we say the truth??? Or you just dont want to risk your image, over some lines of words???
