Friendster

Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by Yoga Prakasa in Weblog

After Facebook, my social media with the most contacts would be Friendster. Friendster was quite a boom in the early to mid 2000, with most of its users residing in Asia. Indonesia being the second largest user base, after the Philippines, according to Alexa. Sure, there are still pockets of Friendster user base existing scattered here and there. But, most have migrated to Facebook, for obvious reasons. Facebook has better interactivity, cleaner design, more applications, and wider user base (again, its all about network effect).

But, I guess Friendster still has that nostalgia on it. So, I haven’t erase the account even though I have reduced my visits since 2006. Plus, it still has its uses on occasions (like double-checking profiles or what-not). I have put Friendster social media button in the footer widget.
