Well, i think the best way is to try it. As Yuga said, all transactions will still through your simcard.

however, i do agree that it is a valid reason to worry because Friendster is not really a secured social networking site because of their log off issue. Plus, the spam issues.

I also posted some tips on how we can avoid hacking problems of our emails, social networking accounts, and other website membership accounts.

Just visit this page:

Please also post some comments so that it will help more people.

They can’t even correct their spam problems. Lol! I cannot imagine how this will work well.

The problem with friendster is that you must explicitly logged out for your logged-in session to be terminated, unlike in myspace that when you close your web browser you are automatically logged off. Have you guys ever watched a feature in Imbestigador where a boy is being blackmailed by someone because he/she read some secret stored in the boy’s friendster message archive, they conducted an operation and caught the perpetrators who are just two ordinary girls who happens to be classmates of the boy. Do you really think those two girls have what it takes to crack the boy’s friendster account? I don’t think so. Blame it on friendster “permanent logged-in feature”.

I agree, this would increase the hack attacks on Friendster accounts. A smart (pun intended) move on Globe and Friendster, as the latter is often used by Pinoys to keep in touch with relatives abroad. The whole package is completed by Yahoo! Messenger which they use to chat and talk online via video calls in most internet cafes.

@Milo – just got a call from Globe GCash Product Manager and she told me all transactions will still be centralized to your Globe SIM (in terms of transaction logging, etc.).

With so many friendster accounts being hacked (do you have a friendster account? try to look at your profile page), I don’t think it can trust into this system. Accounts are hacked with no money involved, what more if there are cash (or G-cash for that matter) now.

am still thinking if this is a good or bad thing for social networking as a whole and friendster specifically.

I still think friendster is way behind facebook in terms of usability, speed, fulfillment and user experience.

Maybe friendster take some pointers from FB and innovate

Do they have reports/archive/log within their friendster account? It’s going to take time before people start trusting this system.
