blunt but their recent makeover ain’t appealing to professionals. To put it simply, Friendster’s major makeover won’t entice professionals to return to them.

Yes, I know it’s for teens – not for us anymore, but business owners won’t be investing on a certain network  where majority of its members nowadays are below 18. Worst, most of them don’t even own a credit card to make purchases.

In a professional networking point of view, would you be willing to collaborate, exchange genuine ideas and do business with kids? Hell no! Not unless if you’re there to flirt, be their guest, but expect their respective moms and dads to hit you in the head once they’ll found out.

I’m not saying that you can’t contain them to be your future leaders and talents. Its just that your return on strategy and ROI won’t be on the dot. It’s soooo risky.
