Friendster is the Suckster
Yes, I have MySpace. And Friendster. And Tribe.net. And Orkut. I’m tired of them all. I don’t even know why I bother having space at these places because they cause me nothing but frustration. I’m going to stick with regular “old” email and instant messaging to keep in touch with all of my friends. Honestly, do people actually keep in contact with the 478 “friends” that they have listed in their friendster profile? I have definitely signed out of Friendster for the last time, well, I didn’t really sign out but it crashed my web browser for the last time. Good riddance. While I “get” the idea of what Friendster is trying to do I really don’t feel a need to show the world how cool I am by the amount of friends listed in my profile.
I get tired of logging in to one of these sites only to have garganutan pop-ups cover my content. This is with pop-up blocking enabled so don’t email me back with things like “Dude, you need to switch to Firefox.” Firefox is great and all but it’s not my default browser anymore and I don’t see it becoming that anytime in the near future. I absolutely recommend (and install) Firefox for home users that are using Windows but it doesn’t work nearly as well on my ibook as Safari does. So there. Weird, I just had a feeling…I felt a thousand mouse-gestures were suddenly silenced as their owners hands gripped keyboards and banged out useless words of bile that told me I should be more L337 and use Firefox…words like “Noob” and “Crapple” and “Pokemon” were sprinkled liberally throughout these messages…
My point was, I’m tired of these so-called social networks so I’m going to quit visiting them as of today. If you have a burning desire to know how cool I am then you can send me an email and I’ll tell you.
