This is where you get the cool friendster designs

There’s a debate in my mind on which is more popular, Friendster or Multiply. I have visited a lot of Friendster logs and sites, and even more Multiply sites, and finally reached a conclusion: both have wide audience bases but multiply offers a lot more in terms of personalization.

With that said, I still like Friendster better because it’s more user-friendly. The prompts for inviting and looking for old and new friends are easier to work with in Friendster.

Back to Multiply, I like it that their sites look like actual blogs (Whatta, they ARE blogs!). Navigating the site can be a bit confusing because everyone has a unique way of organizing their templates. Some of the more gregarious multiply sites I have encountered look a lot like photos everywhere, videos here and there, all-comments pages.. etc. But what the heck, it’s YOU! That’s how you like it, that’s how it should be. Luckily, your own friends may always understand how you think so that they will know exactly how to navigate your page.

Commenting and reviewing. This is a feature that I’d really like for Friendster to adopt. Though comments/testimonial pages in Friendster (and shout outs) are nice, Multiply has this chat-slash-review capability that allows the author to actually interact with his audience. It’s like a shoutbox, but with photos.

I could go on and on about the similarities and differences, but these are the most striking ones I noticed.
