The creator of the site had been dumped by his girlfriend so he created Friendster to meet women. Dunno how much truth is behind that, but given the guy's outburst towards people who post profiles for animals or celebrities, it makes sense.

I can hardly keep track of my actual friends without trying to make virtual ones out of tenuous links ("You know John!? My friend's ex-roommate is his third cousin! We have so much in common...") Plus, it's pretty much a given that Friendster is going to win the standards battle through their brilliant use of finding a name with "-ster" on the end. Everyone knows that stuff like that is cool and tech. Like Hell I’m going to join a billion different services.
