What is the Friends Collumn?

[ben]

What is the Collumn on the right side of this website, under where you log in. And it says related adds, then, Friends and has a picture of someone and a comment.

What is that for?

I think its this thingy where you chat and whatnot with other people from elsewhere and make friends with them or something. I dunno, but may find out sooner than expected... B)

[ben]

ok? I think your probably right, but i still don't know. Is it just to chat with them? Are they members of the site?

Sorry for the confusion. It is a link to a friend-matching program that is free to signup for but if you want to initiate emails you have to pay a little. It helps generate a little income to help support this site.

I would like to know what people think about it, though. I thought it would be a good matching program to find language learning friends, but it looks more like a dating matching program.

Don't worry Clay, every penpal matchup is a dating service. It's inevitable.

Yea i figured it was a dating thing. But i also figured it to be like an advertisement thing to help pay for the site...
