Friendster?

[redbird]

Someone I'd been out of touch with for a while just sent me an invite to friendster. I have no reason not to trust Prentiss (in fact, if you're reading this and would like an LJ invite code, email me), but I would like more information about it.

So, if you've used it, what have your experiences been? Did they ask too many personal questions, have weird terms of service, or spam you? Did you get useful or amusing results from it? What else would you tell me?

They feel pretty safe for me, and (though I used a throwaway address) I don't seem to have picked up spam there.

However, I don't quite see its use, either. It was nifty for awhile seeing who friends of friends were, but it's more interesting reading http://www.livejournal.com/users/mactavish/friendsfriends -- I learn more about folks that way.

So I looked at it every day for about a week, seeing who was new, then forgot it existed.

Yeah... when I signed up and was poking around, I couldn't really see the point of it. YMMV, of course (which I was trying to type as YMMM, obviously I need coffee now dammit).
