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.

Just a friendly reminder. They’re not just on Friendster. They’re everywhere. So, beware.
A Tweet Deicated to Jejemons
How is jejemon typing different from jologs texting?
I mean, can you jejemon text or jologs type?
Sorry, I just got back to the real world and from where I came from, I don’t encounter jejemons.
LMAO!!!! SO that’s what they are called…i oftentimes seen those on friendster before and i really don’t get what in the hell are they talking about, actually makes my head shakes in total disappointment. I could not read the rest of the jejetyped blog post sample coz it gives me a headache but this post made me laugh so hard. Kill the jejemons! damn!
oh and LMFAO! i went to the link you gave here and there’s one comment on there that says WHAT?! that was so funny! but i’m also thinking that maybe she was typing like that on purpose so it will be hard to read especially that she was talking about some relationship she have or is having, but really WHAT’S THE POINT in posting it in a blog like that better just keep it in a secret diary lol.
Wahhh! Asan na yung tweet mo tungkol sa mga jejemon?!?? j3j3j3j3j3j3j3! Jejebusterin naten ang mga yan! hahaha! Woooot!
