Romance POV

I wanted to discuss this sentence:
"Hi5 seems to be mainly used by people to meet romantic partners from the same or different countries."
It seems like a POV. No reference or citation. I am for removing it, but I am new here, so I don't want to rush in. --Bundu 16:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Go ahead, make whatever changes you like. If you do something that others disagree with, they'll change it back, and hopefully start a discussion. Foobaz·o< 02:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Spam" section

I removed the following paragraph since it's potentially libelous:

There are indications that this social networking site uses spammers to attract new users. Several users have reported that after opening a new account, hi5 will send invitations to everyone in their email contacts list. A quick search on Google reveals numerous reports of spam being received in relation to this service. ^[1]

The citation (a Google search, [1]), is definitely not enough to support this claim. Feel free to re-add (parts of) it, put please only do so if you can cite a reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddxc (talk • contribs) 00:45, 6 November 2007

No, this is my personal experience. I have emails records to prove it. so, I am going to put this section back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ltbriar (talk • contribs) 18:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

i see that this article needs citations for the countries of Guyana and the Bahamas. I read an article not too long ago from a Bahamanian website talking about how hi5 is most prefered there. ill see if i can find it and add it in :) Taint3dmem0riez6 (talk) 15:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous

I removed this statement:

"By 7th May 2008 the site is down. By 9th May 2008 the site is online."

For one thing, it's not good English; but more important is that it's simply of no consequence. The hi5 site did indeed have a DNS problem in early May but it has since been corrected -- besides which, it's not known whether it was the site itself or key DNS servers on the internet which were the problem. In any event, it's absurd to log every technical glitch of a web site as part of its Wikipedia entry. Jeff Mincey (talk) 21:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marked as advertisement?

Someone might want to clarify why this article is marked as advertisement because as I read it it didn't look too different from pages for Facebook, Myspace, etc. 76.200.119.77 (talk) 15:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marketshare

The "marketshare" section contains a logical mistake. It says that "hi5 is the #1 social network in over 25 nations across Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa." and that "the site is virtually unheard of in Europe". Only one of the two can be true (or neither of them, I don't know). --J B 12:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
