I'm A Friendster, She's A Friendster …

I signed onto Friendster today. I've heard of it, but since I wasn't really into web chatting or dating, I didn't really care enough to look into it. I actually signed onto Match.com last year, but was too chicken to fill out the profile and bailed. It's only since I've been blogging that I'm even remotely interested in any kind of interpersonal communication online beyond email and IM (which I haven't done in years). I'm pretty sketchy with my Blogger profile as well, which works for me right now.

Speaking of email, I received one from a new friend, Sumi, that I met at God's Love last week. She submitted a poem for the Thurs.Night site, and asked if I was on Friendster. She said that we could be "friendsters" if I signed up. So I checked it out. First off, I loved the design. The look and feel reminded me a lot of Blogger, especially the profile section (I had to check to see whether Google owned it too). You can even set up a blog on it. Unfortunately, the free version has ads on it, and I don't really need another personal blog, so I won't be taking advantage of that.

Sumi and I are now "friendsters" and I even found Will, another Thursday-Nighter, on there. And I actually started filling out my profile.
