Friendster is an internet site that operates on the assumption that people get introduced to each other through their friends.
So you put up a profile about yourself, and you connect to your friends' profiles. The profiles are fairly basic. Music, movies, books, general likes, and then a paragraph or two about yourself. You can also post your pictures.
You can see profiles up to 5 degrees of separation, I think. So my 28 friends connect me to something like 287,000 other people. You can post global announcements that only your friends can see, and you can post testimonials vouching for your friends that anyone who stumbles accross the page can see. You can also send messages to anyone that you are connected to. You can use a search function to find people in your network that meet various criteria.
