Friendster.. What’s the Point?

So, like everyone else, I joined Friendster. I got my friends to join Friendster. Now their friends are joining Friendster. Now that almost everyone you know is on Friendster, what do we do? There is no classified board to sell your junk. There is no threaded message board where you can have an intelligent discussion about things. There are no clubs or groups within Friendster, save some obnoxious cliques. Right now I’m trying to figure out what the hell the point of Friendster was. It’s a really big popularity contest and perhaps the idea is earning the CEO some dollars, but other than that I have really found it to be worthless. Since I’m not trolling for a date, or trying to find a long lost friend, there’s absolutely no point.

In my quest to find a Friendster replacement, I’ve found Tribe.net. Tribe does everything that Friendster does better and faster and it also does all of the things you wished Friendster did. You can sell your stuff, troll for a date, join a group, AND have a THREADED forum-style discussion! Needless to say I have joined Tribe and I’m planning on checking it out. I hope you guys who read this silly weblog will at least check the site out and maybe make an account and we can start a little club and stuff. I also hope I can convert some of those Friendster people. Let’s move on, people. Down with Friendster! Tribe.net forever! *smirk*
