Friendster is a social networking site that I signed up a long time ago thanks to a friend who ‘told’ me to sign up for it. I have never been a fan of social networking sites for the simple reason that I don’t see myself needing it to survive. Most of the time it’s just to help out my friends get that extra +1 to their friends list – yeah it can be that important to them, see how I love you guys? I mean Friendster isn’t annoying per se, it’s the millions of people that use it everyday that makes it more and more annoying as time passes by. Here’s my top 10 list of things that you should avoid doing on Friendster.
1. Spamming the ‘Latest Bulletin’ board.
I mean seriously? Come on! I see people posting the same content for like 10-20 times nonstop and some of them are insanely stupid like posting I’m online now people! Do people really crave attention that much? Up until now I can’t seem to find a logical explanation as to why people do this.
2. Writing a testimonial/comment about your friend that has really nothing to do with him/her.
Don’t you just hate it when you get a testimonial/comment and it’s all about a song or some bloody picture with glitters and stuff and it has completely nothing to do with you? If the pictures, and videos aren’t enough. How about some copy and pasted testimonial/comment for you from your dear friend? It’s called ‘Testimonials and Comment’ for a reason.
3. Using Friendster Applications as a spamming tool.
I don’t know why the Friendster web development team didn’t add the option to ‘automatically’ deny all Friendster Applications because they seriously need to add that option as soon as possible. So instead of clicking the ‘Ignore’ button for every single Friendster Application invitation that you get, you get to give your friends the brick wall when it comes to Friendster Applications.
4. Inviting everyone to join your group – again and again.
No means no, look it up in the dictionary or something. If I would like to join your group then I would joined it already.
5. Creating stupid groups and then doing #4.
Why do people do this? Do you do it just to annoy people or you’re that stupid to notice it? Keep your silly ideas to yourself or at least have some dignity left!
6. Spamming chain letters through private messages.
Wake up, it’s 2008. Your kitten won’t die just because you didn’t send that private message you just received to 100 other people in Friendster. Maybe if you are 8 years old I could forgive you…but coming from an adult like you? That’s an insult to adults!
7. Typing in a stupid way.

8. Changing your Friendster name into an object or some Anime meme/character/whatever (Because you’re an Otaku).
I’m sorry, who are you again? I don’t recall having a friend name Hitokiri Battousai in real-life.
9. Uploading images that were taken/stolen from other people without permission and then claiming them as your own.
Stop pretending that you are this hot chick from South Korea or something. Here’s a tip, go to your bathroom…look at the mirror, do you see something/someone being reflected by the bathroom’s mirror? That is you, that is how you look like…you are not a female, you are a male. It’s time to appreciate who you are. Boost that self-confidence a bit!
10. Going emo on your shoutouts.
So…you are having a bad day, the world seems to crumble infront of you and it looks like things aren’t looking good for you in the near future, do we really have to know how emo you are? Just like what my professor in UA&P John D. Bora used to tell us…SHIT HAPPENS.
