The age of using Friendster for its most entertaining purpose- looking up key information about old friends/flames/coworkers and/or future dates- may be coming to an end, because the site has introduced a feature called “Who’s Viewed Me,” which allows viewers to see the last 100 people who have viewed their profile page. True, users can opt out of the feature- but I’d imagine that most people who don’t read their constant Friendster e-mails won’t even know that, and they’ll continue spending hours out of their workdays looking up the current whereabouts of everyone from their 5th-grade class.
