Here is the catch: why do and what do people like about "friend networking sites" like friendster, myspace, etc; to the point that they will spend an entire session just browsing those sites- looking at pictures, uploading, accepting invites from complete strangers and even giving testimonials to complete strangers and other related things?
I have seen people in an internet cafe browsing these sites and after five or six hours, they are still there- still browsing those said sites. this is also a predominant problem in the college computer laboratory where i am, forcing us to block those said sites- and forcing those blocked to seek other ways- usually via proxy sites.
I expect clear answers- not the ones that you can come up so easily like 'because you can meet other people' and 'its fun'.
It's becoming a social 'problem' - instead of the norm greetings and question, often the first question is 'do you have friendster'.
Thank you for your time.
