facebook = friendster?

Last week or so, i had a notification on facebook- an invite from someone to join some group, telling that after inviting at least fifty of your contacts, you have a tracker of somesort, like friendster, to tell who has been viewing your profile.

And today, i saw on the highlight area (right hand column), around 12 from my list joined this group.

Group named "Colour your facebook profile - invite all your friends". They have over 230k members.

Sure, now you get to personalise your facebook background. Later, you can customise your fonts on your page. Soon, your cursors turn into pink unicorns when you stumble across an aquaintance's page. NOW, doesnt that just sound oh too familiar?

Friendster.

One of the reasons why i left FS:

Weirdos/Pervs can send you messages like these. If im not mistaken Facebook allows you to tweak your settings, only allowing friends to send you messages. Im not too sure about friendster though. (too lazy to do any research for now)

Main point is, i dont want to see facebook turn into the next friendster. I love the plain professional blue and white. I dont really mind personalised backgrounds, but one thing always leads to another. And as for getting notifications for who has viewed your profile? I really dont want to know who has been stalking me *perasan* (or people finding out i've been stalking them).

Facebook is NOT friendster.

Let it stay that way please.
