Online Communities #3 Friendster

Friendster is a community that is described in its name. This is a network that allows people to connect to other users.

Features


• Groups - Like previous networks mentioned Friendster allows people to form groups and organizations.


• Profiles - Again another important feature is the profile. Here as mentioned beofre users can update thier information regarding thier martial status, interests zodiac signs and more.


• Blogs - I think an important feature that Frienster does offer is the ability to blog. This is key in keeping others up to date with any aspect of thier life. I think people enjoy these becuase they are not restricted to the information that the system only supplies.


• Dating Advice - One piece of information I found particularly interesting was the 'dating tips' section. Of course this most likely wont apply to our system but, it does offer people in need of help some advice on getting dates.
