    A novel idea by these companies- trying to streamline the operation :)

    Sorry for the sarcasm. It's just amazing to me just how big these companies are. A million dollars in funding can run out fairly quickly with such a big squad.

    For the amount of money that Friendster picked up in August, I'd have thought they would be a bit more aggressive with their hiring. Speaking with several insiders revealed no real growth plans. I didn't think that Friendster was big enough and consistent enough to justify a 10MM investment for pure operations and support.

    The buzzword this year will be MONEY, rather than web 2.0.

    I have been so busy lately and I want to tell you why.
    Just recently a new site opened and I was actually the first one to join it.

    You know, I had my Friendster page for a long time, making it look nice with pics and videos in it. I really hoped to get more friends and I waited for people to find me there.

    BUT THEY DIDN’T.

    The only friends I had finding me there, were people I already knew.
    But it’s understandable. After all there are 70 million people who have a Friendster page, so it’s a small chance to be found there. I called it Lonester every time I opened it without finding any new friends there.

    Well, back to what happened a month ago:
    Then Freehappydating opened.
    Here’s the link to it: www.freehappydating.com

    It’s a totally free site to find friends and partners.

    “Another dating site” you might think. I thought so too, at first.

    But the I saw 2 big differences form other dating sites.

    Firstly, there is nothing to pay for. They both let me have a profile, with pics and it’s free to show my Email address and phone number, if I want.
    And anyone can contact me without having to pay for membership first.

    Then I saw the second great thing about the site:
    In the profile I can also have a link to my Friendster page. People simply click the link and I HAVE A NEW VISITOR in my Friendster page.

    You can guess the rest.

    I’m not alone in my Friendster page any more. It’s so nice to find new friends adding me, sending me pics and comments, every time I open my page.

    I really recommend you to try too. You have nothing to lose, since everything is absolutely free. Nothing to pay for, no annoying message about upgrading or paying before you can do this or that.

    You can have links to any other page you might have, like Facebook, MySpace or even to link to your video in YouTube, if you have one.

    It’s really easy and most effective.

    Here’s the link again: www.freehappydating.com

    Good luck

    Ps
    Don’t forget to watch me there, I’m easy to find because I’m member #1, lol.
