I do not like thee, social networking site of socially inappropriate networking

I first of all have serious doubts about the utility of Friendster in dating situations. When you start dating someone and become their Friendster, you then gain access to the profiles of all their exes. How fun!

Also, it is unclear whether you are supposed to delete your exes from your friends list. No one else seems to be doing it, but there's no way to prioritize your current Best-Friendster over your He-Cheated-on-Me-and-Now-We're-Just-Friends-(sort of)-ster.

Finally, when you visit your Friendsters' profiles, they now display "joint horoscopes." Like, "You and Scott have smooth sailing ahead!" Which is awesome if you and Scott just broke up. Or maybe you get a "You and Jodie can overcome any bumps in the road," which might lead you to believe -- despite the fact that Jodie is currently throwing all your possessions out onto the fire escape -- that reconciliation is possible and advisable.

Finally, if your boyfriend is on Friendster, he will receive come-ons from webcam girls and hookers.
