Friendster, with 18 million members, continues to add features to member profiles. This time it’s skins- customizable graphics and colors members can change at will.
Friendster Skins let you color your Friendster world. Tough guy? Try Bad Attitude, a collection of broody grays and black. Bright and sunny? Try Marshmallow Peeps for a pastel profile.
This type of customization is easy to implement and let’s people present a bit more of their personality through their choice of skin.
Why oh why didn’t they do this back when Friendster was growing and still relevant?
They also have implemented a feature I despise, the ability to import friends’ email addresses from Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, Hotmail, Outlook, MSN Mail, and MSN Messenger. Unless this is done right, people mistakenly invite everyone in their address book, instead of a select few. Witness the SMS.ac address-book spamming issue a few months back.
