Ah... loyal updating of friendster. I like that. You can usually glean some information from the profiles off friendster. Yes, welcome to CSI Bandit, world of online profiling. Oh wait, there some hot looking pic (ain't it nice of me to say pic instead of chick) on the random gallery. Woohoo, one more bookmark on my friendster account. Now, her profile;

- Name, Natalie

- Age, sweet 18

- Location, Sg

- Occupation, Student

- Status Married

- Interested in Meeting People for, Friends, Activity Partners

- Last Log In, 09/05/2004 (not too long ago, america uses mm/dd/yyyy)

- Number of friends 378

- Testimonials 68



Now, married at 18 does seem unlikely, but still entirely possible. But married while still a student? Seems like she had the thought "I'll just put married for the heck of it". Looking for friends and activity partners, which implies not looking for romance or relationships, which coupled with married while still a student seem to indicate the status as 'in a relationship'. Huge number of friends and testimonials coupled with recent log in, indicates that she likely updates her friendster account loyally. Checking photographs... woah she looks even more hot with glasses on. found a pic of gal and guy looking sweet, confirmed the 'in a relationship' status.



Yvonne might disagree with profiling off people's personal pages and... and... gee, i don't know what to call these friendster, multiply etc websites. But surely the fault lies not with me. I'm not a stalker (albeit i do bookmarks to nice looking pics) and i'm certainly not a 'hum sup' guy looking for some excitement. The fault lies not with the profiler, but with the user of the web services who does not read the EULA (i'll make a bet with anyone/everyone on this claim). surely the eula would have warned the user about making personal information available. while i'm not going to go into the finer points of how privacy should be protected in the web, it would suffice to assume that, with current policies, personal information put onto the web are no longer private.



Looking at the pics of my friends' friendster account and the month is september, i think they went for gippy's SRA ball recently. nice. i get to look at gals in grand dresses and there's helen, looking drooling in her bare-back dress and nicely styled hair.
