Friendster Silhouette
In the not-so-olden days of Friendster, many of us fell victim to the hype of creating our very own public profiles. The thought was exciting, and the course of action easy. Sign up for 30 seconds, customize your profile, add friends, and presto! You’re now a member of the network equipped with a goal to build connections and for some, to stand out.
It’s a tacit rule that “popularity” was dictated by the number of your testimonials, comments, and friends (whether real-life or fake). And so, every public profile was prone to receiving odd, spam-like comments asking for a drop-by message to be posted on their pages. Here’s an example:
A Typical Testimonial
For a good while, these statements dominated the world of Friendster, which was quite forgivable. I was a member of this modus operandi, too. But what I can’t tolerate beyond extraordinary measures is the existence of ”individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance.” (Urban Dictionary)
I’ve encountered some of these infuriating inDiVidUaLzS since the start of my online odyssey, and it’s a sad fact that their gang still continue to prevail up to now.
However irritating, I’d never come to delve further into their nature, let alone know what they’re called until yesterday. A tweet from my close friend informed me that these individuals are called “Jejemons.” Upon further research, I learned that they are taking up Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping, and most of them are ardent devotees of their written posts.
Below is an example of a “Jejetyped” blog post.
