Friendster as a resource

I received an invite to join Friendster when it first opened, but thought it was somewhat silly for those that are married. Thanks to Jish and his invite to join I have found a rather interesting social networking tool. I have been having a tough time finding music, movies, and other media that is of interest (my taste tends to run slightly outside the mainstream pop - interchangeable Britney - mindset). I am not sure Friendster will provide an avenue for discourse, but it could help with media and finding new folks I have not discovered yet that I would be great to know.

Have you checked out www.everyonesconnected.com? It was launched before Friendster, and much better than Friendster.

Everyonesconnected.com is run by a bunch of microsluts. Resist monopolization; go with the java based friendster.

Everyone's Connected is a nice site, but is shadowed by Friendster for it's improved usability. EC, fix that color scheme!!! Also, you get to more info more quickly in Friendster. It's just seems a little more compelling and fun to me. I'm running the Friendster Exposed parties so I may be biased. Try them both and let me know what you think at mark@markslist.com

Hi I have tried both sites, with friendsters being the first. However, I find friendsters to be VERY confusing, dull and unsimple to navigate and understand. PLUS, the server is sooooo slow . I tried the everyonesconnected, and with the exception of the color clashing, I think its much more navigational, easy to understand and of course, a photo uploads before the end of a full business day ;) So..as a NEWBIE to both sites...thats my take ;) Adrianna
