Friendster is a social networking site, but with a different twist. It's considered a social gaming site. For people who love online gaming, this may be for you. I prefer a little more personal social networking myself. I felt it was a little too impersonal because mostly I seen avatars as profile photos. While it offers more customization features such as adding your own CSS to the layout of your profile and the ability to add your blog, I found it less than desirable to stay a member due to not having chat capabilities and having to pay to get the best of what's offered on this site. Another drawback for me was having to upload videos to another site like youtube.com in order to add them to my profile. I might only want to share something with certain people, not the whole world.
