Actually, this person's post kinda sums up my ambivalent feelings about Friendster: "Maybe I'm wrong. But my first impression of Friendster is that it sucks. I mean, you have to invite friends in order to do ANYTHING on that netowrk. 'Invite Friends' = give out your friends private email addresses. NICE. Ok, ok, they SAY they won't sell, lease, give out, share, your email address, but suppose the database gets hacked or they change their rules? I would KILL anyone who gave out my private email address to something like friendster. I certainly wouldn't do that to a friend. So, since I won't violate my friend's privacy, I can't invite anyone, and since I can't invite anyone, I can't DO anything on Friendster. "
