Why? I'm moving from DK to Costa Rica and found that around 1/4 (or what seems so) of all young Costa Ricans have a profile on Hi5. Have never used MySpace, but tried it out yesterday. Usabilitywise, it's way behind Hi5. If Hi5 could just fix the HTML profile hacks and stop publishing those ridiciolous "You are visitor number 999,999. You've WON!" adds, it would be a really great SNS. I’ve found Hi5 to be quite annoying for a long time due to their pro-spam policys, but just recently started using it anyway. Why?

I've received 100s, if not 1,000s, of invites over the last year (sometimes 5 or more per day), most of them obviously bogus accounts (movie stars, etc.) I would never use or recommend such a service and I'm not sure how they can be called legitimate with this kind of marketing strategy. Avoid at all costs. If you do sign up, don't be stupid enough to give them any email login information for your email accounts unless you really hate your friends and want to clog their email boxes with spam. How many of their account are legitamate? Probably very low number. ==Rant Mode Off=== ==Rant Mode On===

Personally, I didn't like the weird copyright clauses in their ToS, and the general design of the site. What made me go back and check out the site again was the new 'music' section that lets you stream entire albums. One of my favourite bands, Thievery Corporation is on there. hi5 was huuuge in India until orkut came along, and more recently, Facebook.
