Friendster | Discover new people
Friendster is a social networking website, founded in Mountain View, California by Jonathan Abrams. It was launched on March of 2002, and now it’s one of the most famous social networking services in the world, and it is more widely used in Asia. In the Philippines it is the second most visited site, only next to Yahoo. Estimates say that ninety percent of internet users in the Philippines have Friendster accounts.
Friendster is a wholesome site. It is applicable for both young and old, and it connects registered users worldwide. Registering to Friendster is free. All you’ll need is your e-mail account and a password. It connects people through networking – friends inviting their friends, and their friends inviting yet more of their own friends, creating a big web of interconnected people.
This site is user friendly, and it has a pleasingly smooth appearance, refreshing to the eyes. It has many features, but the most important and more commonly used features are the Friend Finder, Picture Uploader, Blogs, and Groups. Equipped with these essential features, the site has become a pastime for some, a refuge for others and a separate world for many.
Let’s now explore these features that make up the Friendster network, firstly the Friend Finder. A social networking website can not thrive without this feature in the first place. This feature enables the user to search the entire network for family, friends, or acquaintances that might have already been registered. It has many options for the manner of conducting the search. There’s searching by narrowing down – this asks the searcher to input the sex, age boundaries, the status, and the place where they can be found, and then the search engine will show a narrowed down list of all those within the network who fit into the set descriptions. Another way for the engine to conduct a search is for the searcher to input either the name of the e-mail address of the person he or she is looking for. And other manners of searching are by college, by school, by groups, and through the web, all the way being powered by Google.
The Picture Uploader is another big feature that fuels the interest of people to Friendster. Nowadays digital cameras are very widely used. On top of that even cellular phones have cameras. The point is that digital pictures are much more relevant now, and hard photos are phasing out. So now where can people share their pictures? There’s nowhere better than in social networking sites like Friendster, which is where the Picture Uploader feature comes in very useful. Here, users can upload up to one thousand photos in their account, and these photos can then be viewed and shared with other members of the Friendster community.
The Blogs feature in Friendster simply allows the user to write sayings, stories, poems, and whatever he or she so wishes to write. This is a good place for writing enthusiasts to post and share their works to the world, or for critics to have their say.
And finally the Groups feature enables users to join special groups to have a special place within the network. Groups consist of people who have unique and common bonds such as having common interests or being part of a team or a band. The Groups feature provides a place in Friendster for such groups.
These important features are the ones that make Friendster one of the world’s biggest online social networking communities and are the network’s drivers to success.

Societe Du National Invessiment & Finance Bank
Corporate Office,
Cotonou, Benin Republic ,
West- Africa.
Tel;+229 97 28 31 73.
STRICTLY FOR YOU & NEEDS URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE!
ATTEN: DIRECTOR/CEO,
This Letter Was First Sent To You But Up till Now, I Have Not Heard From You. Based On This, I Decided To Reach You through This Means. Though, I Know For Security Reasons, This Is Not the Safest Means to Reach You, But Was Left with No Other Viable Option since There is The Pressing Need to Reach You. I am Quite Sure That This Mail Will Surprise You since I Have Not Been Having Previous Correspondences with You.
My Name Is PAUL LOKO (MR), The Bank Manager Of The Above Named Bank. I Have A Good Business Proposition For You Which I Know , By the Special Grace Of God,Will Be Beneficial To You and I. Firstly Before I Proceed, I Have To Assure You That This Mail Is neither Junk, Illusion nor Mere Imagination,But Practically Achievable if Given Your Maximum Support And Co-operation.
In June 2002, Mr.Don Robinson,An American Civil Engineer With The West African Gas Pipieline Company,( Wagpco), Deposited the Sum Of US$31,250,000.00 With Our Bank On A Three Year Fixed Deposit Basis. With His Son Mr.Phillip Robinson, Registered As The Next Of Kin / Beneficiary To The Account. After The Three Years Expired, Mr. Don Robinson Was Not Seen or Heard from Even the Son Who Is The Beneficiary, Nothing Was Heard from Him as well.
So I Decided To Roll It Over. Since Then It has been rolling over .I Have Sent Mails,Faxes to His Numbers and Addresses Given Still No Response. I was forced to contact The (Wagpco) He has been working with but was surprised To Hear That He And The Son Died In An Auto Crash Just A Year After He Deposited The Money with Us. May His Soul Rest in Peace?
The Benin Republic Law States That, In Cases like This, The Money Should be returned To the Government Account. I Am Seriously against Returning This Old Mans Sweat to the Govt. Account, Because One of the Officials Will Steal This Money from the Govt Account, so I have decided To Divert This Money to My Own Private Use. Already I Have Used My Good Contact to Withdraw This Money & Transfer it to West African Reserve Bank for smooth and Successful transfer of the fund. I Am Writing for You to Assist Me in Safekeeping of This Money As Well As For Investment Purposes. You Are to Take 30% of The Total Sum for Your Assistance, 5% to take care of all the Expenses incurred during this transaction,while The Remaining Will be for my Investment in your Country.
Anticipating Your Urgent and Favorable Response to This Business Proposition.
Private Email;paulloko@live.com
Please I am counting on you.
Best Regards,
Mr Paul Loko
