I've always just used friendster as a lazy way of maintaining relationships with friends, acquantances, and exes. This rome trip I found out that the co-workers I usually hang out with have been pulled off to other projects. Rather than just lament my solitude, or just go to bars and monuments to meet tourists, I have decided to dip into friendster and see if I can use it to make some new friends or at least find some people to grab a drink with. I did a search and turned up about 15 people who may be in Rome (friendster makes it tough to figure out the city in another country) with similar tastes in music and movies. I've sent out about 10 generic introductions, and it'll be interesting to see if I end up with any new friends/acquaintances, or if my messages are discarded as internet sketchiness.
Update: So far I have received responses from 3 people, all girls oddly enough

Any luck with your search using friendsters? I'm in a similar situation, but living in Zurich. I just got back into friendsters for the first time in about a year.
I'd be curious to hear if you meet anyone from friendsters in Italy. The Swiss don't seem to use it much.
