Friendster, once a cool social networking site that has since been overshadowed by MySpace, has gotten desperate. How desperate? Spam desperate. As Friendster users know, you can send out invitations to your friends to get them to join the network. Now Friendster is resending those invites to people who didn't respond initially. I hadn't thought about it, but I did in fact get "re-invited" to join Friendster recently. The e-mail seemed to imply I might have forgotten to join, when in fact I just didn't feel like joining in the first place. Or, as Stephen Baker asks in Business Week, "Who says those people are still my friends?" I could think of about ten different ways for Friendster to improve itself, but spamming those who didn't care to join in the first place isn't one of them.
