Friendster Fights Fakesters

jerkface writes "Matchmaking/personal networking site Friendster is experiencing a 'problem'. Unruly individuals like John Locke, Socrates, Alf, and many incarnations of Jesus Christ are trying to take over the site, according to SFWeekly.com. For a few months, the 'fakesters' were mostly tolerated, so long as they didn't offend anyone with the images they posted. Fakester profiles exist claiming to be famous people (alive and dead), cities, buildings, abstract concepts, and - increasingly - Friendster CEO Jon Abrams. Abrams is now saying they're all going to be deleted because they ruin the site. Fakesters argue he's stifling the full potential of the site, and many people report that 100% genuine profiles have been deleted in the recent campaigns against fakesters."

Whaaa?

Re:in several months friendster will charge $s

No, Friendster won't become "just another dating site". Friendster, at least in communities of 20 & 30-something hipsters, is changing the way people meet. Friendster is revolutionary, and it's not all about dating. I see it as a growing replacement for the bar scene. It's amazing the people you meet through friends for all kinds of activites. Sure, dating is part of it, but I'd guess a smaller part then ordinary people just looking meeting other ordinary people.

Get off their butts

These guys/gals should get off their arses and goto a club.
