That's an example of how Friendster, from an initial quite reputable website that was build to keep friends connected, has turned into some sort of pretentious want-to-be-your-friend site.
Annoying... and more importantly it's sad how society today manipulates technology to succumb to their lacking social environment.....

Give it a bit more time, and facebook too will turn into this pile of gibberish...

facebook is already turning into this. i've gotten a couple of messages from the same random person asking 'to be friends'...
