Friendster; what an idea, and what a revolution it has started in how we keep in touch with our friends and loved ones. Type friend network on any search engine today and you will get loads of links from "My Space" to Malaysia's own "Kawanster".
It's a craze that millions of people around the world have taken to ritualistically. From a need to keep in touch with every individual we've bumped into, comparing "friend list" to use as bragging rights against other peoples "friend list", to a need to fill any insecurity one might have by getting as many people on ones list just to feel part of something. Then of course you just have the guys out there who just want to get as many pretty girls on their list with this machonismo fantasy of boning them all.
On the other hand, if there are any girls out there who have a fantasy of boning guys on their friend networks, just pass me your contact number in the comment box.
ahem..ahem..Anyway....
On normal days I consider Friendster a distraction. ( cause whether we like to admit it or not their is a satisfaction one gets from being recognized and liked as a friend ) Opening Friendster every few days in hope that someone has left me a cool or warm testimonial is one of the main reasons I'm still on friendster.
But today is different. Days like today remind me what friendster is at it's core and purest form. I bumped into a friend yesterday that I've not seen in 6 years. He had friendster, I had friendster and with that a chain reaction has started that has resulted in me getting back with six other friends that I've not seen in years. Getting back with friends from the past is one of the simple joys in life.
Today friendster proved it's worth for all the office hours lost on waiting for my next big testimonial.
*grin*
and the great words of wisdom I've come across today is :
"Warning : Dates on calender are closer than they appear"
