uninteresting :: rich

over the past year, nearly every person i know got hooked on friendster at some point or another. for a while i was checking it several times a day. but the site was slow, and eventually the novelty wore off, and now just about all of my friends’ profiles are stagnant. why? the clunky ad-laden interface hasn’t improved. speed is a little better. no compelling new features. they’re promoting “friendster phone” which is just a rebranded pc-to-phone app.

funny how with all that investment cash they can’t figure out a compelling next step. kinda like evite, a site that EVERYONE used, but never figured out how to make a dime except from banner ads. and it’s funny how evite is now trying to become a friendster copycat.
