The Decline of Friendster

Vinnie BoyJesus, even the Post is writing about how Friendster is passe, including the Casey Spooner quote about how it is "dead" for him: "I found myself wasting hours of much-needed creative time obsessively rolling through profile after profile. I felt a great weight lifted off my back." The article also mentions Friendster alternatives, Fiendster, Friendsterpimp, Introvertster, and Fallen Friendster. Where's FriendsterSlut? When someone forms that site, let us know. And sctually Gothamist is more suspicious that this is the Post's attempt to reach their six-mentions-a-week quota for Vincent Gallo, who Gothamist has had beef with every since he talked smack about Christina Ricci being fat, which propelled her into her current candy-apple head body.

Hello Gothamist? Yeah, hi, it's me. Amy's Robot. Yeah. Our legal team over here just wanted to remind you that we trademarked the term "Friendster Slut" back in July, and so, um, since your post is in violation of our trademark, you owe us a dollar.

(Or -- just this once -- you can just choose a more generic term like "FriendsterWhore", "FriendsterPuta", or "FriendsterWinona".)

ps. Why is Casey Spooner blaming Friendster for his wasted "creative time"? Musician, heal thyself! Blame-shifting will get you nowhere, my electroclashy friend...the problem is within you. Do people say, "Oh, crack is so uncool. I find myself wasting so much creative time when I hit the pipe"? Of course not! They just do more crack.

D'oh - thanks for the update, Amy's Robot. I'll start writing it as "Friendster Slut (TM)".

All people had to do to understand the decline of friendster was look to detroit, which has nothing to do but be cooler than everyone else.

Hey - I just learned about friendster last week. Add me to the pile of people that won't ever use it. :D
