Down with Friendster

When you are active on the internet, you create your personal and business profile in god knows how many social networking sites...tab.com, friendster.com, meetin.org, myspace.com, meetup.com, facebook.com, orkut, yelp.com, yaari..the list is bigger than you can think. After sometime, you end up only using a popular and trendy few forgetting about the others (except the occassional emails they send out to let you know how they are changing to compete w/ the best sites).

My serious concern for all you out there, who are dating or newly married specially, is to make sure that all your profiles are up to date in all such sites or get rid of profiles on sites you are not using. You can run into trouble and this time its not your boss at work or Uncle Sam. Its your current heartthrob. She might phish you (she has few scrupulous, not-at-work friends too) on one of these unused sites as "single" and also find that you accessed them say within last few months and didn't update the profile. If she is of the jealous kind (most women are, even if they don't accept) or the typical suspicious, insecure female....then everything will be lost the moment she finds out something like this. Her possible ignorance about the behavior of such sites and the mental remnants of the last argument you had with her will all resurface with a dark vengeance to end it all. She will not care whats your status and profile on the ones you actually use, but this un-used one will become the focus of severance.

This is true. This has been my experience.

NOTE: Also, if you can explain yourself well and give some time, the disbelief can be eliminated. Thats my experience too.
