civil affairs

Recently I have received a whole bunch of notifications from friendster. First it was a message from some stranger, then it became friend requests, then more messages AND friend requests! Weird...

Don't get me wrong here, I'm open to meeting new people and interacting with other people but I can't seem to make myself click on the 'Yes' button for their requests. I have nothing against them personally, it's just that they are not my friends. (Don't start with the arguement that meeting friends is the point of friendster. Yes maybe, but I like to keep my list clean of quick acquaintances and people who simply want to increase their "friends count")

Anyhoo, I also realized that there have been a bunch of strangers viewing my profile. So it really got me thinking as to why people are viewing my profile on the same time frame, given the numerous friendster accounts circulating. Good thing one of the messages sent to me actually explained how she got directed to my profile... my main picture was apparently part of friendster's featured photos.

Mystery solved! :P
